Ex-Blizzard and Ubisoft staffer Ryan R. Burns has announced The Oily Depths, his debut project as a solo indie developer, and if you're into the likes of Lethal Company, you'll probably enjoy this one.
The Oily Depths is a "short horror game" set on a deep-sea submarine, according to Burns' announcement. Your goal is to locate oil deposits and drill for them, and if you don't do a satisfactory job, "your corporate overlords will stop your supply of oxygen".
There's something delightfully poetic about Burns, who's worked for both Blizzard and Ubisoft, creating a game about how corporations will crush you without a second thought if you don't perform well enough for them, but perhaps I shouldn't read too much into that.
The Oily Depths employs a lo-fi art style that's very similar to Lethal Company's, and it has similar themes of corporate indifference in the face of looming monstrous horror.
The difference, though - and it's a pretty big difference at that - is that The Oily Depths is a single-player experience, so you won't need to recruit any of your friends to enjoy this one with you.
You will, however, need to gain mastery...
