332: Iron Lung

from The Short Game · host The Short Game

What better pitch than “A short horror game where you pilot a tiny submarine through an ocean of blood on an alien moon?” Iron Lung is an exercise in feeling doomed. Lost in space with all habitable planets mysteriously vanished, you are a convict piloting a blind submarine on a suicide mission, using only a map and a low resolution still camera to navigate. It’s a lo-fi dread generator. It’s also shorter than many horror movies! The Short Game is supported directly by our listeners on Patreon!
