About This Game

An archaeologist ventures beneath the flooded underbelly of Venice, following cryptic coordinates that lead to a sunken vessel harboring secrets tied to a mysterious treasure chronicled in an ancient folklorist's journal. Operating under cover of darkness to evade unwanted attention, she soon discovers that the wreck's depths present far graver hazards than physical obstacles—previous explorers fell victim to psychological distortions and hallucinations as they descended into the abyss. Confronted by spectral apparitions, hostile entities, and labyrinthine dangers designed to disorient and destroy, she must navigate the blurred line between perception and reality while piecing together clues that could lead to the legendary prize. The expedition demands that she question everything her senses tell her, as survival hinges not just on physical prowess but on an unwavering grip on reason itself.
