‘Hidden Deep’ is a 2-D sci-fi adventure game set in a mining facility a mile under the ocean floor. For people with a fear of dark underground spaces and freaky monsters, this takes freaky to another level. Thank goodness it's not VR…

The first team of researchers that were working in the mining facility started detecting weird ‘anomalies’. Not long after, all contact with the research team was lost and they went completely silent. A second research team was sent in to find out what had happened to the first team.

Players are in control of this second research team and must venture deep underground to try and rescue any survivors from the first team and find out what happened to them after they discovered the anomalies.

Players must explore the underground caves using a variety of equipment including drones, scanners, grappling hooks, excavators, and other heavy equipment. They must avoid rockfalls, sinkholes, and other hazards while fighting off alien life and freakish monsters lurking in the dark tunnels as they give orders and manage their team of researchers.

‘Hidden Deep’ offers a single-player story mode and a Challenge mode where players must complete various challenges and are able to play with friends using the game’s online co-op feature.

‘Hidden Deep’ is developed by ‘Daedalic Entertainment’ and is available on Steam.
