Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As students who were constrained to working in a semester format, we weren't quite able to get in all the features we had hoped for upon the completion of our semesters. We would like to continue working on the game until we can get those features in! ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on staying in early access for just a few months, Ideally before the end of December after we attend MDEV in Madison, Wisconsin. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We want to work on more map layouts for the submarine, elements of randomizing game play such as random trigger events the players can partake in, and extra endings and story beats for players to find!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the early access version should contain one map for the submarine that is constant and never changes. Each puzzle is always in the same spot.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Nope! We will keep this game free!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We want to involve the community as much as we possibly can, through bug reporting, public beta testing, and interacting with anyone on social media!”

About This Game

The water is dark and incredibly cold. The pressure is intense, and the stakes couldn’t be higher...

After being attacked by a colossal sea creature, a small nuclear submarine is thrown into a high-stakes battle and must reach the surface before air runs out. Players take on the role of either Pilot or Mechanic and must work together to keep the submarine stable by communicating with each other, fixing failing systems, and navigating through perilous waters. Survival depends on the pair’s ability to work together under immense pressure. Failure is not an option.

 

Dread Not is an asymmetric co-op game created by Leviathan Interactive, a studio comprised of 15 UW-Stout students, that will leave players wanting more! Play as a pair of marine researchers aboard a doomed vessel that has suffered severe damage and only has 10 minutes before running out of oxygen. The only chance of reaching the surface is by making repairs, which are completed through cooperative and individual puzzles scattered throughout the system rooms of the submarine. The Pilot is constrained to a single room and is in charge of navigation while simultaneously communicating with the Mechanic in order to keep necessary systems up and running. The Mechanic is able to move between all other rooms and must repair systems under the Pilot's guidance. With inspirations taken from real 1960’s Navy Nuclear Ballistic Missile submarines of the George Washington Class combined with the 80's vibes found in cinematic classics such as The Hunt for Red October and Jaws, Dread Not is sure to be an absolute blast. Will you sync or swim?
