About Deep Panic
DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS
An online co-op horror game featuring a procedural underwater world, proximity voice chat, and terrifying creatures lurking in the dark. Go solo or with up to 4 players and dive deep into the unforgiving ocean, exploring submerged worlds, scavenging their treasures and surviving whatever guards them.
LIFE IN THE SUBMARINE
Your submarine is your lifeline. Learn to pilot it, repair critical systems, seal water leaks, and prevent the reactor from exploding. As you explore and sell your treasures, you'll be able to upgrade your submarine, better systems, new gadgets, better tools. Managing your resources and making the best out of bad situations will become your daily routine. Teamwork, communication, and stress management will be your greatest challenges, so choose your friends wisely.
STAY CONNECTED OR STAY DEAD
Use proximity voice chat to coordinate with nearby crewmates, and the radio to reach those who've wandered too far. In the deep, silence is a warning sign.
HOW FAR DOWN CAN YOU GO?
The ocean descends in layers, each biome darker, stranger, and more rewarding than the last. Explore, loot, fight, and push further down. The bottom exists, will you be able to reach it?
