Welcome to Questionable Submarine, where your limited knowledge of nuclear submarines' inner workings is not only adequate, but in fact beneficial!

Your goal is to get as deep as you can, because you're in a submarine, and that's what submarines do.

On the left of your screen are gauges displaying your depth, rate of descent, ship health, fuel and air. Your fuel and air constantly decrease. If your air or HP runs out, you'll die, but if your fuel runs out, you just won't be able to accelerate.

On the right side of your screen is a view of the submarine's cabin. Click on any of the devices to interact.

The rightmost one is your control panel, which is considerably simplified for your model of submarine. Mash the GO button to GO. The longer you consecutively mash the button, the more speed boost you get. I hope your finger is ready. Just make sure you have enough fuel or this button won't do you any good!

The leftmost device with the nuclear symbol is your fusion reactor. It needs uranium to run! Conveniently, there's a uranium rod dispenser attached to it, so just grab a freshly-dispensed rod and throw it into the fuel hole! I know, these terms are getting a bit technical, but trust me, this is how real submariners do things.

In the bottom-left is your air compressor. This is a discounted model, so it's not as automatic as you might hope, but with a little elbow grease it'll get the job done! Just grab the plunger and pump up and down to increase your air supply. Where is the air coming from, you ask? I have no idea!

By this point, you may be wondering a) what the device at the top is and b) why you're being assaulted by a bunch of seriously pissed off blobfish. I don't have an answer for the second question, but the answer to the first might put you at ease: it's the control panel for your blobfish-blastin' gun! Take aim, then press FIRE to kill those bafflingly angry bastards!

That's all you need to know! Happy diving!
