Escape from the Deep

They've tried their best to cover up the problems, but the authorities have caught wind of it and sent you in to find out exactly what's been happening.
Disaster strikes not long after your investigation begins. A series of impacts or explosions are felt throughout the base. You're knocked unconscious. You awaken in the Medical Bay on the scanner bed. No-one is there, save for the gruesome dead body of a nurse slumped in the corner of the room! What happened? How long have I been out? Where is everyone? You have to find the answers to these questions and gather the evidence to take back to the surface, you need to..... Escape from the Deep.

Im at the moon pool, super stuck dont know how to get past sharks i have 3/4 pieces of evidence
You'll need the artefact from the lab on sub level 3. It emits a strange signal that frightens off the Sharks.
To get the artefact You'll need to fix the generator.
I completed it with all evidence! Amazing game had such a good time with it, thank you!
Awesome glad you liked it. Well done. 😁
I love these 16 bit retro graphics. Reminds me of old Activision games. the lighting is exquisite. I've edited out some questions I had while I was stuck. I got past them, but then lost all my save slots and was not committed to starting over after the auto restore. I am convinced I got within 3 prompts from the end.:) pretty fun!
Oh thats sucks man. Glad you enjoyed the game though. Where had you gotten to? I can tell you if you were close to the end. :)
I escaped!!!! But I didn't figure out how to get the "sample" yet.
I was stuck SO LONG at the beginning!!!! You can't imagine how frustrated I was... Once I finally figured out how to unlock the bunk the rest was far easier to deal with. Silly me missing that at first.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game, I now think there should be a VR version of this for the Quest 2!!!
Thank you!
Sorry haven't checked my messages for a while. Glad you liked it. I know it can be frustrating, but that's what adventures do lol. Awesome that you figured it out though. Nice one.
Excellent! glad you enjoyed it. 😉
Hi there, you need to drop the food by the Vent just east of Medical Bay. You'll need some boiling water too, to pour on it. Don't stay here though, go back to the observation room! (West of Medical Bay) to see what happens.
Hope that helps.
