Survival, horror at the sunless depths of the Pacific Ocean: Stranded on the seafloor with low light and few tools, an industrial diver takes desperate steps to surface before his oxygen — and sanity — give out.

Influenced and inspired by a growing appetite for unconventional horror and narrative-driven games, Narcosis is rooted in reality, but steeped in the surreal. Features: Pressure Kills: High-stress situations accelerate oxygen intake, distorting sight, sound, space and time. Hostile Waters: A knife, flashlight and flares are essential to surviving the nightmarish flora and fauna of the abyss. Phantom Narrative: The survivor’s account unfolds in inexplicable ways alongside the player’s journey. Beyond Good and Evil: No shadowy organizations or eldritch terrors, only primal fears and human limits.

Press reviews: “...So much more than a few gimmicky jump-scares. A beautifully written, immersive psychological thriller which tells a compelling, tragic story... Narcosis is a shining example of a psychological thriller done right, and a must play for any horror junkie.” 90% – Gaming Trend “...Well paced and immersive ... Every facet of Narcosis feels singular, from the surprising narrative to the well rendered, unique setting. The foreboding sense of dread and unpredictability makes for one of the most exceptional survival horror gaming experiences.” 8/10 – Modern Horrors “...a unique experience that grabs you and doesn’t let go until the very end... Narcosis is a triumph, managing to get under your skin and stay there long after you’ve put the pad down.” 8/10 – GameSpew 

Notes: Narcosis is a survival horror game set in the depths of the ocean, exploring themes of isolation, fear, and psychological distress. Players will encounter unsettling imagery, including graphic depictions of corpses, but no scenes of people dying. Moments of violence are limited to interactions with native sea creatures as part of survival gameplay. The game’s themes of mental deterioration and trauma may be distressing for some players. This experience is intended for mature audiences due to its heavy atmosphere and emotional intensity. Player discretion is advised.
