Imagine that game in co-op: You can't see the photos you've taken, the pictures go straight to the guy at HQ, who does his best to communicate what he sees on a need-to-know basis. -So what's that? What's making that noise? -Uh... You don't wanna know. Just keep your distance, ok? (Alternatively: Classified. Proceed to the next coordinates.)

I've noticed that every streamer, from Jerma to the Vinesauce folks to Oneyplays, has some degree of streamer blindness. The entire problem you had with the angle was literally given right below the x and y coordinates. Why and how it's so common in everyone (including myself) is beyond me.

[@thedukeofweasels6870]

They call it streamer brain it's a legitimate phenomenon that when you try to produce content narrate your situation and think of things from the perspective of an entertainer it uses up a section of your brain power and attention so you're less likely to notice details it's the same reason why they say that driving and talking on the phone even if it's a hands free device is a bad idea because you're less likely to pay attention to details on the road if you're also thinking about the conversation you're having

30:57 the creatures/animals that live down there problably have no lungs. The blood ocean problably has a ecosystem that generates oxygen or whatever they need to survive, then blood carries those stuff, and the creatures either drink or have blood vessels that can open up and suck blood inside which has the necessities for survival in it, like oxygen. Lungs are needed to somehow put oxygen in the blood, but since the blood already has oxygen, they dont need lungs. Thats my theory on how this works.

The thing that I really like and appreciate about this game is that it uses Hitchcock's Bomb Theory perfectly. You just _know_ there's something out there in that blood ocean and at the 28:20 mark you see it, but it doesn't 'go off', so now you know for a fact it's there and the rest of the game is building up tension for when it does pop off.

Ive always had a love for giant creepy things in the ocean. The thought of some horrifying massive monster lurking in the depths of the water is just so cool to me, and this game quickly took place as one of my favorite horror games.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

This is one of the most intriguing settings for a horror game, it feels like one of those SCP stories about some type of K class end of the world/universe post apocalypse And honestly the best thing about this, is that its not even about whatever caused the end of the universe, just other horrors trying to eek out an existence in the dying flame.

Just the name “Iron Lung” gave me the creeps, but having no sight in a situation that could very much end with you in your very own personal underwater coffin.

[@dragoncookies6810]

Oh I LOVED watching this. The bleak setup with only some coordinates, a map and a camera to guide you gave me an excellent feeling of dread that not a lot of horror games are able to do. I was mentally bracing myself every time the camera shutter clicked, just waiting for some deep sea creature to be right outside the submarine, and the payoff when it finally appeared was absolutely worth it. I feel like this game pairs very nicely with your play style as well. You've got a really good eye for detail and always try to immerse yourself in the story and the world as much as possible. I think this game and No One Lives Under the Lighthouse are some of my favorite playthroughs of yours so far. Keep up the great work!

[@PantheraWings]

Won’t lie I also thought the “A” meant Altitude, which I assume the Librarian did as well. Normally when there’s 3 coordinates the 3rd is Z, or how up/down you need to be, i.e altitude. It made absolute sense in my brain but in restrospect it being the angle is so obvious D: Anyway that ending got me GOOD

One of my favorite things about this game is that it’s actually fully 3D, the ocean, the sub, everything. You actuallly are moving your sub through an environment and when you take a picture it’s making a 2D image of what really is in front of you.
