Hidden Deep wants to get closer to the classic sci-fi horror movies -apkrig
Last week we introduced you to the survival horror film Buried in Ice in Vortex, inspired by the famous sci-fi Thing. Shortly afterwards, we have another similar play, but the author bet on a completely different concept and stylization. The founder of the Cogwheel Software studio attracts us to the newly announced sci-fi thriller Hidden Deep, which takes players to an underwater research base, but in two-dimensional graphics. It promises a lot of action, danger and mystery.
The author attracts to a dark science fiction story inspired by classics from the eighties and nineties.
In Hidden Deep, we take a team of four researchers to the submarine station in an effort to find out what happened to her crew, who fell silent. We have to lead the whole group and the author attracts to a dark science fiction story inspired by classics from the eighties and nineties. He explicitly refers to the Alien, the Thing or the first Half-Life, but also to Another World or Flashback. At first glance, however, the news reminded me most of the recent CARRION, which would be an upside-down horror in which we tried out the role of a monster.
We have to sneak in, fight and use all sorts of gadgets, such as anchors, scanners or drones, in an effort to survive. You can control your team and its members directly or give them orders. We will explore, climb, swim and so on. The story is said to offer more than 50 missions and more will be generated as part of the challenges. Alien monsters, traps and other dangers will face you. And beware, as in other sci-fi horror movies, for example, your former colleagues may end up on your neck here in the end.
At the same time, there was ordinary curiosity. A group of researchers discovers strange anomalies of unknown origin and organizes an expedition to investigate this mysterious phenomenon. After 681 days, the team breaks the contact preview. And this is where Team 2, led by you, enters the scene. In addition to the story mode, we can look forward to a survival that will be more action-packed, and a cooperative mode is also being considered. Only story mode should entertain the player for at least 20 hours. The game will also include a level editor and an official online leaderboard for speedrunners.
Hidden Deep should be released on PC later this year and its publisher is Daedalic Entertainment. Anyone who is interested in the title can try it soon. The playable demo will be available as part of the Steam Games Festival from February 3rd to 9th. Cogwheel Software is basically a one-man team led by Łukasz Kałuski. The game is powered by its own engine, which simulates the physics and destruction of the environment. The author also attracts us to elaborate animations and character movements.
As for other platforms, Łukasz Kałuski promises later ports on Mac and Linux. And he suggested that it was possible that the game could also appear on Switch and Xbox.
