Submerged lets you explore a captivating waterlogged city

Submerged is a poignant and melancholic experience that is a joy to partake in.

Out now for PlayStation 4 and PC and August 7 for Xbox One, indie studio Uppercut Games (made up of former Bioshock devs) developed this third-person exploration, combat-free game that is all about atmosphere, subtle storytelling, and scaling tall buildings. You assume the role of a young girl named Miku who brings her sick little brother Taku to a mysterious city that is half underwater due to severe flooding. You aren’t given a tangible explanation as to what happened to this city (or even the world for that matter), why the little boy is sick, or why the young girl has decided to come to this particular city to look for help.
