About Aphotic Descent
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...

game is a BANGER, subnautica for real men with girlfriends and hot wives with cars2 found this helpful
Best souls-like I've played in a minute. solid 7.5/10. Love the artwork and atmosphere but bosses can be gigajank 1shot machines at times and some aspects were visually unclear, though with enough trial and death, I figured things out. Played it in 768x1024 and was abit strange on UI elements but those mosaics! Overall great work guys!

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.1 found this helpful
This was a great indie water based horror game that really brought it all into the game, really liked this one 7/10
