Call Of The Deep

Call of the Deep is a Survival Horror/ Comedy game where you look for a bunch of junk under the sea while getting attacked by monsters that range from harmless to the spawn of Satan.

This is a release of a cancelled game, what's left of it. This demo (Labelled 2025) only contains 1 Level and the older demo (Labelled 2024) only has 3 levels and is also not reccomended to be played.

I am releasing what's left of this game as a send off to it, but also as a way of archiving it so that it doesn't become lost. As embarrassing as some of this game is, (especially all of the 2024 version) I don't think this game and everyone who worked on its' effort should be deleted just because I don't like it and couldn't finish it.

TO BE CLEAR. THIS GAME IS CANCELLED. IT WILL NOT BE FINISHED. DO NOT ASK PLEASE.

Early in the year 1985, scientists decide to plan their most expensive expedition yet into the area surrounding ███████ ███ reef. The reason for this being that recently, a new species of fish was discovered at the very edge of a steep underwater dropoff.

While this would be incredible on its own, this is even stranger since they have ignored ███████ ███ reef for years, because of its reputation. The locals call it "The Barren Waters" as no known life has ever been sighted in the waters. After conducting a S.O.N.A.R scan, the scientists concluded on 9 main areas. Labelled sites 1-9.

You play as the lucky employee who gets to traverse down there! Your goal is to reach site 9, they couldn't scan that far, so it could be anything. 

Call Of The Deep features gameplay inspired by modern hits like Lethal Company and Content Warning, but for a singleplayer demographic.

Each day you're dropped in the middle of a new environment, and you must explore and gather photos and video for points. Photograph anything weird and film anything that moves. Between days you can return to the hub and "chill". Any cool things you pick up will show up in the sub between trips.

When out in the field, you'll meet a plethora of friendly fellows to keep you company! Such as [Redacted as to not cause trauma to past employees]
