The Trench (2022)

Wow! What a game! great job Devs. Father and son team shows the labor of love. Thanks for all your hard work. My wife and I enjoyed this very much. Really delivers on the tense atmosphere and scares. Would recommend this to anyone looking for that creepy uneasy feeling we all want in these types of games. Thanks again!

It took me 12 minutes to figure out this game doesn't work very well. It wasn't expensive. I bought it because I'm a sucker for underwater games. The controls are junk, with super sensitivity that i can't figure out how to adjust. Maybe I'm missing something. Don't waste your time.

Charming, if this came out in 2010 it would've done numbers.

The Trench is a focused indie horror title that takes a familiar fear. the terror of the unknown lurking beneath the ocean, and transforms it into a tense and immersive experience. Developed by Omar Chapa Hernandez and Omar Chapa Moyers, and published by Omar Chapa Hernandez, the game places players in the role of the captain of the submarine Pandora during a mission to investigate the wreckage of another vessel, the Neptune.

This game took 21 minutes from start to finish. It's a rail-road type game, in that you progress through the story linearly, with no options to change the outcome. It's a fun diversion for the money, and a creation by a father and son. So it's horror-wholesome.

Absolute cinema. This game deserves to be made into a movie, the ending and lore make it a strong candidate for film making. The abyss and darkness of the trench feels like you are in the deepest darkest points of space. I appreciate the father and son developers of this game. If you have thalassophobia, I highly recommend this game for you.
