Story
It's been 76 years since the disappearance of Germany's sole production example of the Type-31 U-Boat, an experimental prototype about which little is known, but has encompassed rumors of supposedly being powered by revolutionary breakthroughs in Dark Matter technology.
After decades in which the submarine traversed dimensional rifts, U-1536 has inexplicably rematerialized in the shallow coastlines upon the North Sea, with irregularities in the U-Boat's damaged reactor facilitating unexplained electromagnetic phenomena which has perpetrated bizarre disappearances upon maritime and air traffic in the vicinity.
As one with a particular fascination in the rapidly unfolding events at hand, freelance oceanographer/mercenary Thuy Moc has elected to infiltrate the sub's interior with hopes of ascertaining some answers for herself.
Before long, she'll discover a host of bizarre phenomenon, including a peculiar breed of interdimensional monsters which materialize out of nowhere and attack on site, while the surviving crew members have aged only a few days within the space of several decades.
Gameplay
Per the creative aesthetic of the first Resident Evil game, U-1536 employs combat and exploration with low-polygonal 3-D characters superimposed on top of pre-rendered backgrounds.
Mechanics will involve combat and exploration, with a few rudimentary puzzles thrown into the mix.
