https://levisager11-oss.itch.io/deepsub

DEEPSUB v0.6.0 is an early, free Windows submarine horror game built in Godot.
You navigate with sonar, still photographs and a hydrophone. The engine and
sonar make noise that attracts a creature, so gathering information also
gives away your position. Includes story dives, seeded free dive, and a safe
SEA TRIALS training dive. Windows 10/11, 64-bit. Headphones recommended.

AI assistance was used for code and dialogue. The game uses CC0 Kenney assets,
meshes and sounds generated in code, and an AI-generated promotional cover.
The four cockpit/instrument images are actual gameplay screenshots.
The executable is unsigned and may trigger a Windows SmartScreen warning.

SHORT SOCIAL POST
Your sonar helps you see. It also tells something where you are.

DEEPSUB is a free Windows submarine horror game, navigated by sonar,
photographs and sound. Try SEA TRIALS and tell me where you get stuck:

ITCH.IO RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT
Title: DEEPSUB v0.6.0 - free submarine horror, navigated by instruments

DEEPSUB's first public Windows build is available for free. Pilot a sealed
submarine with sonar, still photographs and a hydrophone, while something
outside follows the noise you make. Every ping gives you information and
gives away your position.

Embed a real gameplay screenshot from this pack in the announcement.
The Release Announcements board requires at least one embedded image/video.

This early build includes story dives, a seeded free-dive mode, and SEA TRIALS,
a safe training dive for learning the instruments. You can leave the pilot's
seat to repair leaks or reset breakers, deploy decoys, and rig for silent
running.

Start with SEA TRIALS. Feedback on the tutorial, instrument readability and
sound-based creature behaviour would help tune the next build. It's a Godot
project with AI-assisted code and dialogue, CC0 Kenney assets, and meshes and
sounds generated in code. The cover artwork is AI-generated; the cockpit and
instrument screenshots are actual gameplay.

ITCH.IO DEVLOG
Title: First public build: SEA TRIALS and a call for playtesters

DEEPSUB v0.6.0 is now available as a free Windows download. This is the first
public build, and the next step is to find out how the instruments, sound and
difficulty feel to real players.

SEA TRIALS is a safe training dive that introduces steering, photographs and
decoding a beacon without a creature hunting you. Story dives and seeded
free dive add the danger: your engine and sonar help you make progress, but
the noise attracts something in the water.

If you try the game, please tell me where you first felt lost, which
instrument labels were hard to read, and whether staying quiet versus using
sonar felt fair. A bug report with the last action you took and the dive you
were on would be especially useful.

The project uses AI assistance for code and dialogue, with CC0 assets and
visuals and audio generated in code. Automated runs have checked the
systems; human playtesting is needed for handling, creature behaviour and
the audio mix.

Windows 10/11, 64-bit. Download the Windows ZIP on the game page, extract it
and run DEEPSUB.exe. Begin with SEA TRIALS. Headphones recommended; the
executable is unsigned and may trigger a SmartScreen warning.

GAME SUBMISSION EMAIL TEMPLATE
Subject: Game submission: DEEPSUB - free instrument-based submarine horror

Hi,

I'd like to submit DEEPSUB for consideration. It's a free Windows horror
game in development, built in Godot. You pilot a sealed submarine using
sonar, still photographs and a hydrophone; the creature outside follows
noise, so gathering information can also expose your position.

The current v0.6.0 build includes story dives, seeded free dive, and a safe
SEA TRIALS training dive. It's an early public build, and player feedback
is needed to tune the handling, creature behaviour and audio.
