Developed by Uppercut Games, Submerged offers a unique experience.
"Submerged" is a single-player, horror platformer game with an interesting plot, sensational graphics, and a phenomenal soundtrack. As Miku, you explore a mysterious flooded city in a small fishing boat, seeking supplies to save your dying brother. The game features vast outdoor environments with a rich, vibrant habitat, providing a serene and relaxing game experience. However, it is very grinding and buggy, with a dense atmosphere and high emotional stakes, but it's not very replayable.

Critic Reviews
Submerged Review
Submerged is a non-violent, sometimes beautiful exploration adventure set in a strange, mysterious future.

Despite its interesting premise, Submerged never achieves more than mediocrity due to its repetitive gameplay, lacklustre execution, and unpolished world design.

Submerged is one of the great pretentious indie turds all time. This is the kind of experience that is usually joked about on forums when users try to think up parody "art" games. The best moments are the sparse fleeting random appearances of the mutated wildlife, but, unfortunately, it wears thin; there is not much point to them other than being a passive observer, and they cannot interact with Miku, either. Jeff van Dyck's piano score seems nice and appropriate at first, but it quickly becomes headache inducing when one specific track plays that is very monotonous and lacks variation becomes a screwdriver to the brain. Submerged turned out pretty horrible, and while its concept sounded okay on paper, sadly, the execution is an unbelievable disaster. Ugly, extremely rough, buggy and boring; Submerged should be cast off and is not worth the asking price at all. Anyone who might be interested in a, atmospheric exploration game should just play the HD collection of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, or get Journey.
