About
A mobile research facility exists deep down in the ocean where scientists from all over the world study the ecology of creatures ranging from the euphotic zone down to the aphotic zone to carve the path open to deep sea exploration and understanding. After not hearing from the facility for months, a rescue team is sent by submarine to investigate. When the team finds a lead, the submarine is hit by a sudden force. A lone diver manages to escape through a bathysphere and crashes down onto the sea floor...
Descend into the ocean, where you’ll journey through various zones, from the sunlit surface zone to the twilight zone and finally the aphotic zone where monstrosities of the deep exist.
Your only company are the scattered documents found throughout revealing the true nature of the world engulfing you. Gather information about the horrific experiments conducted and creatures lurking in the dark watching your every move.
Equipped with a powerful flashlight and your trusty diving knife, you’ll illuminate the dark waters around you, while using the blacklight feature to reveal hidden clues and solve puzzles, and destroy key objects to complete encounters.
Face a diverse range of creatures, where every encounter presents a unique challenge that requires you to adapt your skills and equipment in order to survive in tense environments and escape the pursuit of aggressive predators.

NOTE: Aphotic Descent was developed by a team of students, and we greatly appreciate any feedback you may have!

damn eel
I really like the aesthetic but the pacing is quite slow and the combat is too clunky.
Good atmosphere and plot, but the enemies in the maze are too quick, and the eel around the generators is damn near impossible to kill. It's a free game, and others may enjoy it better, but for me, it missed the mark.
Просто шляпа какая-то, делали студенты? Давайте зачётки.. хотите четвёрку? Тогда помойте кабинет, полейте растения и принесите мне хорошего пива литров 5, мне надо после вашего пассажа трубы залить.
Yani pek ben korku öğelerini göremedim ama genel olarak gerilim oyunu diye adlandırabiliriz.
i played 8 minutes of this game and it kicks ass
good idea but need some hard work
Combat was a challenge to get used to and its a slow crawl but it gives you the feel of being at the bottom of the ocean just chugging along, was fun to hear all the lore and get everything.
