Iron Lung is a short dread-driven submarine horror game from the developer of DUSK, The Moon Sliver, and Squirrel Stapler.. . FEATURES. Experimental minimalist gameplay, where your senses are limited and anything could be lurking around you. . Glimpse your surroundings through the lens of a grainy still camera and navigate using an incomplete satellite map and proximity sensors. . Horror based around building dread and paranoia. . Original soundtrack inspired by the work of Aubrey Hodges (Doom 64). . A short experience intended to be finished in under an hour. . . . . THE GAMEPLAY. Set entirely within a claustrophobic one-man submarine nicknamed the "Iron Lung," you must blindly navigate an ocean of blood to take photographs of key locations, and hope whatever lives below doesn't find you. . . There is only a single porthole on the sub, and it needs to be closed due to depth pressure, so you have to navigate purely via an incomplete map, proximity sensors, sound, and a primitive external camera which can be used to take the pictures you need to complete your mission, or to get a grainy low resolution visual of what's happening outside. . . Success will require resourcefulness and
This is not an expedition. It is an execution. If there is still hope, it lies beyond the veil Iron Lung is great. It's a fantastic slow burn horror experience that has atmosphere, tension and uncertain fate all tied up neatly with interesting lore. David Szymanski knows horror and tension. The Iron Lung Movie takes this and expands upon it greatly with lore, worldbuilding, characters and even more dread awaiting each moment. Massive kudos to Mark and his crew for making the movie and David for the game.
Very good but very short game, I'm mostly worried how the movie will manage to drag this into 2hrs long. Edit: Guys I just watched the movie, it adapts the game pretty well actually and it didn't feel overly long!!!
