Project Achelois was the secret government project in 1985. Its purpose was to explore the Europa and find whether it hosts any life. This is what actually happened that day.
#### Descend level
* Drilling - Space.
#### Underwater level
* Movement - WSAD/arrows.
* De/Activate weapons - space.
* Switch between weapons - control/shift.
* Fire - left mouse (weapons must be active).
The arrow at the top shows you the direction for your objective. You can shoot creatures and some of them turn hostile, but I did not really have enough time to implement their attacks properly, so you would have to really try to get destroyed by them. If you do get destroyed though, that’s game over.
If you want to play with the project, you will need these tools:
* Game Maker (2.3.2.560 w/ runtime 2.3.2.426) for the game project.
* Aseprite (v1.2.27) for the game assets.
* FL Studio (Producer Edition v20.8.3) for the sound assets with these VSTs:
* Kairatune.
* VST Speek 3.
* Fruity DrumSynth Live.
