Submerged Gallery

Explore a virtual gallery of submechanophobia in a retro computing environment. Although this isn't really a "game", there are two endings. The goal is to simply take your time enjoying experiencing the creepy images, captions, and music (feat. the retro PC MT-32)! This was created for the Haunted PS1 Summer of Shivers Jam (Summer Jam 2021).

Pro Tips: This game should display ideally on a MOBILE PHONE, but should also play in-browser for Windows or other platforms. I have also provided a downloadable version. Does it seem like you're stuck? You may just need to click/tap to let the game know you have read the text and are ready for the next thing. On a desktop or laptop, use F11 to trigger or escape fullscreen.

All images are "found art" and I wanted to be sure to provide the appropriate credits and "metadata". Some is included in the game options, but I include the full credits below.
