You are traveling down, deep into the ocean below in only a small bathysphere. You knew you would never see the surface again once you stepped inside, and so you made your love for your partner known. How long until the darkness claims you?

I played The Crushing Dark by Madeline Ember of Ember & Ash Games!

The Crushing Dark is a Wretched and Alone game about observing the ocean depths as your bathysphere sinks lower and lower towards the ocean floor. It becomes harder to tell what is real and what is a delusion the further down you go and your sphere can only withstand so much.

Instead of a block tower, this game has you stack rocks on top of one another, so it's far more difficult to keep the tower standing longer. I only managed to stack 6 before they fell down. (I also had to go steal rocks from my neighbor's yard)

The Tower before Falling

My scientists didn't make it too far down before the sphere took damage and plummeted down into the depths, unable to be returned.
