Overview

About this game

THE DESCENT

Trapped in a failing deep-sea diving bell, you descend to uncover the fate of a missing expedition. The crushing depth is relentless. Your systems are failing... and something is hunting you.

THE EXPEDITION

The ocean floor was supposed to be empty.

Your sonar tells a different story - movement in the darkness, shapes outside the viewport, signals that shouldn’t exist.

Piece together the expedition’s final moments through scattered logs, recovered data, and fragmented communications. Every dive reveals more... and the deeper you go, the worse it gets.

SURVIVE THE PRESSURE

Power. Oxygen. Temperature. Every system draws from the same failing supply.

Make impossible choices. Descend deeper each time.
Kill the power and sit in darkness - or keep your systems running and draw the creature closer.

Communication with the surface is unreliable. Instructions arrive in fragments. Long silences stretch between transmissions. You’re on your own.

GAMEPLAY

  • Narrative-driven survival horror set entirely inside a single diving bell

  • System-driven survival gameplay with resource and risk management

  • Story delivered through degraded communications and recovered expedition data

  • Approximately 90 minutes of tense, atmospheric gameplay

The Diving Bell is currently in active development. Visuals and features shown are being refined and improved as development progresses.
