Narcosis is a first-person survival horror game set at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. You play an industrial diver in a heavy diving suit, trapped after an accident at an undersea facility. With only a flashlight, flares and a knife, you have to work your way back to the surface while watching your oxygen supply and dealing with what lurks in the dark, as panic begins to affect what you see.
It is a single-player game with slow movement and a heavy focus on atmosphere and tension rather than combat. It also supports VR headsets. Narcosis suits players who like short horror experiences built around isolation and dread, more than action and jump scares alone.
