Subaqueous Chaos

A one-man submarine delves deep into the murky waters of the Congo River, seeking to unravel the secrets of its ominous underwater passages. Various ancient texts, including the Pnakotic Manuscripts, ambiguously hint at their artificial origin, avoiding naming the creators. The dreaded Necronomicon, penned by the mad Abdul Alhazred, contains a cryptic passage stating the location of the entrance but remains silent on where the passages lead, as if the traveler could end up anywhere, anytime.

While reaching the bottom proves easy, it soon becomes apparent that there is no way back. A vast network of catacombs now separates you from the surface. Will you be swallowed by the cosmic drifts or will you traverse the maze, risking sanity, to reach the surface again... and again...
