Solarsuit and Polden Publishing have announced Static Dread: The Submarine for PC via Steam. The game will serve as a follow-up to Static Dread: The Lighthouse, which released earlier this year.
Check out the first trailer for Static Dread: The Submarine below:
We reviewed Static Dread: The Lighthouse when it released earlier this year and rated it a 4.5/5. We described it as a game that “might wear its influences on its sleeve, but it delivers a unique horror experience that is worth checking out if you like ethical dilemmas and Cthulhu mythology. This very well may be the next hit indie horror game.” The release date for Static Dread: The Submarine is currently unknown, but it is currently available to wishlist on Steam. The store describes the game as follows:
A powerful aurora has swept across the entire globe. You are a sailor aboard the modern submarine Ares, operating in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Not by your own choice, you have found yourself at the epicenter of these events.
The Submarine is a new entry in the Static Dread universe. It takes place in a strange near-future world where a catastrophic aurora has erased much of modern civilization’s achievements, forcing humanity to face unfamiliar threats and impossible choices. Deep beneath a northern sea, you and your crew fight isolation, failing systems, and something far older than any map.
Guide the Ares through black water, piece together what the aurora awakened, and decide how much of your crew—and yourself—you’re willing to sacrifice to see the next dawn.
