Depth

Depth is a multiplayer action game where squads of divers extract valuables at the bottom, and shark players hunt them. The parties play differently: some agree and divide roles, others act brazenly and quickly. Divers buy equipment between rounds: harpoons, mines, flashlights, bait. Sharks grow with their prey and gain new abilities. Levels are divided by setting: sunken ships, caves, station wrecks. In the dark, a flashlight gives away a diver, but without it, the prey cannot be found. The loot goes into the general account, and the money buys improvements. Voice communication decides the outcome more often than accuracy. In addition to the main rounds, there is a training mode where you can master the controls without risk. Equipment is divided by level, and some items are unlocked for completing tasks. The levels vary in size: some are quite cramped, others require a long swim in the dark. The loot is divided between the players, so the catch depends on the honesty of the team. Voice communication helps to warn about a predator, and without it the game goes completely differently. Statistics lovers have something to watch here: the game keeps track of rounds and loot. Settings allow you to limit communication to text only if there is no microphone. Some maps are closed to beginners until the level is reached. Improvements are divided into categories: weapons, devices, survivability. Some items are unlocked for completing tests. Progress is saved automatically after each round. The rounds change quickly, so there are short breaks, and coherence is more important than pressure. For those who like sea battles with a squad, this project is suitable.
