FazzNoth Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 A former Stadia exclusive, the sequel to Submerged is now coming to PC and consoles, inviting a new host of players into this chilled out, laidback post-apocalypse. Team up with Miku and Taku to explore a beautiful, no combat world and start to uncover its mysteries. Submerged: Hidden Depths is the sequel to Uppercut Games’ 2015 Submerged. It has actually been around for some time, having been originally released as a Stadia exclusive in 2020. Now, however, the game is making the jump to PC and consoles. In this ‘relaxploration’ adventure, returning players will be reunited with Miku and her brother Taku as they explore a new city together and do what they can to restore the beauty of their world, and undo the damage that has nearly destroyed it. Submerged: Hidden Depths will be available on PC and consoles soon. STORY: UNCOVER THE MYSTERY OF SUBMERGED: HIDDEN DEPTHS This game continues where its predecessor left off, in a post-apocalyptic version of our world following massive flooding and the spread of an entity known as the Mass. Instead of the land, cities, and trees we know now, the world has been transformed into a giant ocean, with only a handful of broken buildings still standing tall enough to poke through to the surface. As in the previous game, the story centres around Miku, a girl infected by the Mass, and her brother Taku. Together, the pair of them explore the few remaining structures above the waves. Using her connection to the Mass, Miku strives to restore Seeds that have become corrupted, turning the lush greenery into the sinister Black Plant strangling anything still standing. As players progress, they will uncover diary entries that reveal the history of the world they are in. Over time, these snippets of information will start to come together into a cohesive narrative about what happened to make the world the way it is, and uncover the secrets of the Mass. While intriguing in its own way, the game’s story isn’t a particularly pressing motivation to progress; if anything, it’s somewhat incidental to your innate desire to explore the new world you’re being presented with. Fortunately, this appears to be an intentional decision by the designers to ensure that the game remains a relaxing, easy-going experience without sudden twists and turns stirring up drama. It’s important to note that while the story is not a major focus, there is a story to uncover. Rather than following in the tradition of similar titles with highly ambiguous narratives with no actual answers to be found, Submerged’s world does benefit from clear story-telling when required.
