Submergence is a game about exploring a deep underwater shipwreck, full of perils and mysteries.

So...Appears I forgot to add the controls. WASD to move, E to interact with things, and L to toggle lights.

I couldn't find a way beyond the second panel, so I'm not sure if there's anything after that... But from what little I've seen, I liked the atmosphere and the music !

There's nothing past that, unfortunately, @stracker. It's not much, but we wanted to get something out the door for LD, and we accomplished that much!

Although short it's still a decent game in the end. I could definately see this being something amazing with more being added to it (such as a story).

My one gripe is that from what I could tell there's no way to fight enemies so you're forced to take damage while you can't do anything about it. I also think there should be some way to recharge your power to give the player more time to explore (not important right now seeing as there's not much map to explore).

Thank you! And there is, actually, though due to the shortness of the level it wasn't explicitly mentioned. The structure you spawn in actually fully charges you when you enter it.

For some reasons, I can't launch your game, the .exe disappears when I try to execute it, even as Admin o_o

Though the gameplay is lacking a lot, I really feel what you were going for. The mood with the limited visibility and the music just fits together perfectly and together with the story part on the second panel creates an eerie, mysterious atmosphere. Good job!
