submarine

The Submarine has been hit hard. The hull is cracking, alarms are blaring, and icy water is rising fast.

But it’s not just the ocean threatening your life and something is out there, massive, unseen, and hunting.

Trapped deep beneath the surface with systems failing, you’re the only one who can reach the engine room.

Fix the sub, stay ahead of the flooding, and pray the creature doesn’t reach you first.

⚠️ Strobe lights (flickering lights) used in the game.

ROYAL BATTLE

Two powerful nations ruled by the Red King and the Blue Queen are at war.

They’ve both turned to you, the leader of a strong and neutral country, asking for your support.

Letters have arrived. Messengers sent. Packages delivered. Inside them reports, warnings, and whispers of betrayal.

The choice you make will shape what happens next.

It could bring peace… or ignite something far worse.

This is your moment. History will remember the side you chose…

Or be hers forever.
