About
The Oily Depths is a short horror game set in a submarine deep beneath the sea. You must locate and drill for oil or those who command you will stop your supply of oxygen.
A horror experience designed to be completed in under an hour
Utilize all your gauges, meters, and monitors as your visibility is limited within the sub. Carefully navigate the sea floor to locate the oil extraction targets.
Flip levers, grab tools, set locking-arms, and more. You will need to gain a mastery of each part of your equipment until it's a part of you...
This work is not for the faint of heart...

A short, hidden gem. Fantastic indie title.
Not a bad game but very short. Thankfully it was only 3 bucks, so I don't mind that so much. However the game definitely has potential to be expanded. Hell I'd love a coop game with some of these mechanics.
neat
Good little game.

Короткое но наполненное символизмом произведение, которое хочется понять
Ich habe in 60 Min. alle Errungenschaften geschafft... das muss mir erstmal jemand nachmachen. Nice xD
Honestly, The Oily Depths is a punchy, super effective dose of dread. The PS1-style retro aesthetic fits that grimy, deep-sea vibe perfectly, making exploration as fascinating as it is creepy. It’s a short experience, but the tension is constant; between the resource management and the sound design that makes you second-guess every noise, you’re totally immersed. I loved the atmosphere, and those jumpscares caught me off guard—it’s really well done.
игра ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ только проходится быстро. рекомендую
