Crushing Pressure

Description

Your research expedition goes wrong from the start, and you find yourself trapped in a small research submarine, far below the surface of the ocean and deep inside an underwater cave system. The claustrophobic confines of the sub are oppressive, but at least you have shelter. Meanwhile, your comrade is trapped outside in a collapsed cave, and his life is in danger.

You must act quickly to save your comrade and find a way out of these cursed caverns. Explore the remains of an abandoned Soviet research base, find clues from the outside using a remote-controlled drone, and master the submarine controls to perfection.

And you are not alone here, be careful not to awaken what has been sleeping for decades.

Please note

This game supports both Desktop and VR modes. On PC you can choose play mode in the main menu. 

The game is still in development, and the story in full version will be different than in this demo. Nevertheless this demo is a complete game, just smaller.

Features

• Immersive experience in both senses, both literally and figuratively

• A variety of instruments. You have no windows, but you're not blind. Use them to find your way out.
• A detailed submarine that is not your enemy, but your ally. So don't hesitate, learn how it works and become a skilled submariner.
• You can't go outside in a wet suit, but that doesn't mean you can't interact with the outside world. Use your trusty (and almost indestructible) ROV to retrieve and place objects in the caves.

Hints and controls

Please refer to Controls.txt file in the game directory. There's also ingame control hints in non-VR mode.

If you're overwhelmed by all the complicated equipment on board, start small -- figure out how to use sonar and how to control the submarine's movement. 

Beacons recovered from underwater can be connected to the terminal. Connect them to the terminal using the connector on the side of the terminal.

The map mode of the holographic projector can not only plot your trajectory, you can also create path points there and move and connect them with your hands. This can be useful if you're lost.

There's more help in the submarine terminal and in Hints.txt file in the game directory.

Supported languages: English, Russian. Language can be changed only in the main menu. English translation is far from perfect, so I will appreciate any help in translation.

Supported Platfoms

• Windows PC
• SteamVR (PC) - Tested on Pico, Oculus Quest and Lenovo Explorer WMR
• Oculus Quest 2/ Pico 4 Native APK -- with simpler visuals

PC Hardware requirements

• Intel i5 4th gen / AMD anlogue, or newer
• GeForce GTX1050 (for desktop mode), GTX1060 for VR or similar AMD graphics card. Modern Embedded GPU is fine too (at least for desktop mode)
• 4 Gb RAM

The game may run on weaker hardware too, but performance could be worse. Lower resolution and turn off SSAO if you have poor performance.
