Depths is a game about survival.
You awake in the middle of the ocean, clinging to a piece of driftwood. You have no memory
of how you got here, however you know you need to survive. Unsure of your surroundings,
you set off to explore.
You find yourself feeling weak, and can barely tread water. Yet somehow, you survive.
As you travel on, the seas become more treacherous. Can you make it through to the end?
Important: This game makes some references to suicide. If this is a concern, you may wish
to pass this game up.

I took a break from my usual carefree game style for this Ludum Dare. I wanted to make something that
has an impact on the player for once. I really am not sure how I feel about how this game came out, but I feel
I had to make it. It probably isn't for everyone, but I guess it was for me.

This game was developed for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. A ROM download is available below
It was built using NES Starter Kit - a C-based game library
for the NES.
Past the close of the competition I probably won’t be checking comments on this page much. Keep an eye on my website and social media for updates.
As usual, yep!

Does it really work on the NES?
As usual, yep!
