About Barren Depths

✦ AI summary

Barren Depths is a survival exploration game where you swim frantically through foggy ruins and twisting caves while evading a relentless monster, collecting objectives that determine which of two endings you'll reach. The game's standout feature is its branching structure where your early choices in the vast starting area directly shape your final escape and conclusion.

Swim as fast as you can to escape a terrifying monster in Barren Depths.

Barren Depths has two distinct sections.

The Start - A vast area covered in rocks, an eerie fog hinders your vision as you explore. Two 'objectives' can be found here, with one lying at some old ruins.

The Cave - A confusing cave system with many twists and turns. Try and navigate your way out of the cave without being eaten alive! In order to exit the cave you must first break the wall blocking the exit by finding a mysterious statue.

The End - Once you've escaped the cave you will trigger one of the two endings based on the 'objectives' from the start.

The choose your own adventure elements in this game are simply golden. The fact that the ending was entirely dependent on how you play the game simply made it the most immersive experience in my life. On top of that the plot twist ending was remarkable, and a once in a life time experience.

This game is absolutely incredible, I don't think I have ever seen a game with as amazing as Barren Depths. From awesome game play to graphics that will knock your socks off. This is for sure my game of the year. Thank you Kyle Obranovic for creating a masterpiece. 10/10. 5 dollars is a bargain.

Sorry but this is clunky, graphics are really sub par and objectives are not clear. Entered in a cave, saw a statue bleeding, got eaten, turned around, got eaten, don't know if I have to click on something or not, got eaten, don't know if I have to use a key or a button on my controller, got eaten... No way to change resolution, no options, nothing. Animations are really small, swimming arms are like a cramped dance, enemies "kill" you but it's just a freeze and a "go back or quit" menu splashing over the game in two huge black rectangle blocks. I paused the game right at the beginning, then I started again the game and the menu (still huge black rectangle blocks) stayed visible while I could play again. The game tells you how to use a compass, and then you lose it like 3 minutes later. The game doesn't tell you anything else about the interface (I don't need help for puzzles, but I can't solve puzzles if I don't know what key to use or IF I need to use a key at some moments...) The prices cancels a bit out those problems, but that's not enough. It's a great work, nonetheless, that's true. Devs worked hard it seems even if that's probably not a lifetime project. Also, the revi…
