Iron Lung - Switch / Steam

[Droo]

Couldn’t find a topic. 
 

Utterly lo-fi, very basic graphics, simple

gameplay. Amazing sound. 
 

…and it’s legitimately the first game in a very long time to scare the complete shit out of me. 

 

anyone else played this?  We need more games like this.

I bought it day one but have been too scared to play it.

It’s totally worth it.

Bought blind on the strength of those three posts above so nobody come in now and say it’s shite pls.

I am sure I played this... Could have been a press build. I found it dull and whilst it has atmosphere, it wasn't scary at all

always one…

Haha. It wasn't shit at all. But I don't get scared by horror at all. My brain is broken. The dullness came from no feeling of threat to me. The game is mechanically sound and I get why people might get scared. Just not me unfortunately.

What kind of game is it?

[df0]

You're in a submarine and need to visit certain points on a map.

It's great, honestly. Well worth the 2 hours or so.

yeah as said above, you have to navigate without visual aid and only a map and coordinates to nodes of interest then take photos of them.

I bought this on some recommendations a while back. Playing it now. Thanks thread.

Are there any jump scares in this?

Can’t really tell you anything without spoiling it. It’s a very short game.

Just finished this. Really enjoyed it. The setting is a brilliant evocative idea.
