About This Game

"Why It's Getting DARKER?!" is a first-person psychological horror experience set in the haunting depths of a vast, pitch-black ocean. You’re not just exploring — you're being watched.

Step into the boots of a lone researcher trapped beneath the waves, guided only by fading signals, a malfunctioning PDA, and the voices of artificial intelligence that may or may not be real. Each dive into the abyss brings new anomalies, unpredictable horrors, and increasingly disturbing discoveries.

  • Explore a massive, open underwater world with randomized horrors and evolving threats.

  • Encounter powerful bosses that can appear without warning — some rarely, some repeatedly — all deadly.

  • Use your camera to document creatures and uncover the truth behind this submerged nightmare.

  • Fight, flee, or photograph — but every action has a consequence.

  • No handholding, no second chances. Darkness is coming, and it’s alive.

Prepare to lose track of time. And your sanity.
