Aphotic
A downloadable dive for Windows
APHOTIC is an atmospheric underwater psychological horror game about illuminating what we would rather leave in the dark. Our protagonist descends deep into the ocean, and light becomes both a means of understanding her surroundings as well as something that exposes her to what prowls in the darkness.

Loved it! The atmosphere and environment design is on point :)
Loved the atmosphere, the movement, and the enemy! A bit more story would be cool, but the ambiguity definitely holds up. Keep up the great work, y'all!
Thanks for the feedback! We were really eager to put more story in but alas, time was not on our side, haha. Glad to hear you liked the ambiguity anyway:)
Excellent work all. <3
Thank you so much!
