About This Game

Depth Charge is a horror game in which you must complete (and survive) all of your shifts at your job as a bellman in the deepest trench of the Atlantic Ocean.

Gameplay

The core gameplay consists of completing a set of tasks, while watching your noise and trying to survive encounters with a variety of deep-sea monsters in your heavily jury-rigged diving bell. (The gameplay is AUDIO-HEAVY, so speakers or headphones are important)

Based on your performance in each shift, you will be awarded your wage and allowed to spend your money on upgrades for your diving bell.

As a bellman, you are responsible for the safety of your divers. If you bring at least one back after they perform a successful dive, you must manually pump all of the nitrogen from their bloodstream — while they are asleep, of course. Just try to keep the lights off if they start to toss and turn, waking up during such a procedure may impact their mental state, and therefore their productivity.

Post Game Content

Depth Charge has four unique endings, each giving bits and pieces of a grander narrative. Mess around with different upgrades and look for all sorts of secrets to unlock them!

Once you get any ending for the first time, you unlock HYPOXIA MODE! A timed game mode meant to provide a fun post-game challenge.
