About This Demo

This demo contains the first of several descents.

Paluah’s Trench is a narrative descent into the abyss about the lengths we’ll go to for the sake of profit. Plunge deep into the sea in a defective diving capsule and find out why the work crews below have gone quiet.

DESCEND

Neptune’s Chain is the world’s premiere deep-sea meteorite extraction business, but that’s not saying much. Infamous for poor working conditions and tight budgets, the company has fallen on hard times. That makes you the rescue crew.

SURVIVE

Crank the generator, process salvage in the crusher, and patch the straining hull of your vessel when it inevitably bursts. Keep your failing capsule alive; it’s all that lies between you and the crushing ocean depths. No pressure.

SECRETS OF THE ABYSS

They say they’re extracting meteorites that have crashed into the ocean, but crews go down and minerals never come up. What is Neptune’s Chain hiding?  What lies at the bottom of the trench?
