Crew, the situation on board is becoming increasingly unstable. Systems are failing, and the hull is groaning under the crushing pressure. Today’s update introduces critical survival mechanics and introduces the Sub-Rosa Marine corporation - a company behind this piece of sh...ip.

MAIN FEATURES

Evacuation System: Race Against Time

When the ship enters its final failure phase, repairs are no longer an option - only escape remains.

  • The Mechanic: Once the ship reaches critical status, the EVACUATION SYSTEM initiates.

  • The Objective: All players who wish to survive must reach the designated Evacuation Point within a strict time limit.

  • The Stakes: Only those inside the zone when the timer hits zero will count as "survived."

  • The Price: Anyone caught outside the evacuation zone will be left without oxygen. In the deep, no one can hear you gasp.

VHS Tapes: The Sub-Rosa Marine Files

Old-school media storage has begun appearing across the ship. What is the manufacturer of this "faultless" vessel hiding?

  • Discovery: You can now find VHS Tapes in random locations throughout the ship.

  • Instructional Film: The first tape found contains a briefing on submarine behavior, mechanical operations, and practical survival tips. You can find it in lobby - simply watch it before starting a game!

  • The LoreWe wonder how many failed missions it took to justify making these... Regardless, every future update will introduce new tapes, slowly revealing the true purpose of this voyage.

OTHER FEATURES

  • Brand new music tracks

  • Few new sound effects

BUGFIXES

  • Mortal SoulsFixed a bug that granted players immortality. Sorry, you are officially vulnerable again.
  • Accurate DebriefsCorrected the end-game statistics calculation. Your performance (or demise) is now tracked accurately.
  • Sound RestorationFixed issues with audio samples failing to play.
  • Spatial AudioAdjusted 3D sound attenuation. You can now more accurately judge the distance of noises (or threats) lurking in the dark.
