About Iron Lung

Iron Lung is a short dread-driven submarine horror game from the developer of DUSK, The Moon Sliver, and Squirrel Stapler.FEATURES Experimental minimalist gameplay, where your senses are limited and anything could be lurking around you
Glimpse your surroundings through the lens of a grainy still camera and navigate using an incomplete satellite map and proximity sensors
Horror based around building dread and paranoia
Original soundtrack inspired by the work of Aubrey Hodges (Doom 64)
A short experience intended to be finished in under an hour
THE GAMEPLAY
Set entirely within a claustrophobic one-man submarine nicknamed the "Iron Lung," you must blindly navigate an ocean of blood to take photographs of key locations, and hope whatever lives below doesn't find you.
There is only a single porthole on the sub, and it needs to be closed due to depth pressure, so you have to navigate purely via an incomplete map, proximity sensors, sound, and a primitive external camera which can be used to take the pictures you need to complete your mission, or to get a grainy low resolution visual of what's happening outside.
Success will require resourcefulness and patience.
