Static Dread: The Submarine
The pressure hull creaks under the weight of deep-sea dread as most players settle into a focused 2 to 10 hour dive. Steam reviews show an 83 percent positive rate across 209 post-release evaluations, proving the voyage largely hits its mark.
What it's about: Plongez dans l'horreur lovecraftienne à bord d'un sous-marin militaire claustrophobe. Assignez tâches comme bras droit du capitaine, analysez signaux sonar, prenez décisions difficiles et empêchez l'équipage de sombrer dans la folie. Horreurs sombres guettent dedans… et dehors la coque.
