ABOUT IRON LUNG
Iron Lung is a solitary journey inside a fragile submarine traveling across a blood planet ocean. From the moment the descent begins, the experience frames exploration as a dangerous expedition. Each movement through the crimson depths builds tension as visibility remains severely limited. Because direct sight is impossible, a grainy still camera becomes the primary window into the surrounding blood ocean. Meanwhile, sound cues and proximity sensors guide navigation through unseen trenches and looming obstacles. As the submarine advances, isolation and uncertainty transform the mission into a slow-burning adventure across an alien world. The original soundtrack inspired by Aubrey Hodges reinforces the feeling of an ongoing descent into the unknown. Begin your journey across the blood ocean and endure the descent into dread!
Iron Lung- A Claustrophobic Submarine Horror Game
GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW
Core Gameplay
The gameplay unfolds entirely inside a claustrophobic submarine nicknamed the Iron Lung. The submarine travels through an ocean of blood instead of water. The mission requires reaching marked locations scattered across a deep trench. The objective centers on photographing specific points of interest using an external camera. The player must complete objectives without direct visual contact with surrounding threats. The experience rewards patience, careful movement, and deliberate decision making under constant pressure.
Sensory Limitation and Navigation
The submarine contains a single porthole sealed shut due to crushing depth pressure. Navigation relies on an incomplete satellite map rather than precise positioning tools. Proximity sensors provide limited awareness of nearby terrain or obstacles. Sound plays a critical role in conveying movement and unseen dangers. The external camera offers still images with heavy visual distortion. Each photograph provides brief, unsettling glimpses of the surrounding blood ocean.
Atmosphere and Narrative Context
The setting exists within a universe devastated by a mysterious cosmic disappearance. Humanity survives only aboard space stations and starships with dwindling supplies. A Blood Ocean discovered on a barren moon becomes a potential resource anomaly. The mission investigates unusual locations hidden beneath the blood surface. The submarine feels aged, fragile, and assembled from deteriorating space station components. Tension builds through isolation, vulnerability, and the unknown presence lurking outside.
