Variable State Studios unveiled a gameplay demo of its upcoming sci-fi horror shooter Deepest Fear during the PC Gaming Show 2024 in December. While some players praised the game’s atmospheric design and water physics, others criticized the gameplay mechanics.
Deepest Fear takes place at a deep-sea station that hides a secret that threatens the future of humanity. The main character, Dr. Danny Carroll, goes to a secret facility where she must unravel a tangle of personal secrets with horrific consequences. The authors of the comments were divided on what they saw in the video. Some praised the employees of Variable State for the thoroughly developed physics of water behavior and the design of locations in the aesthetics of retrofuturism.
The game will be coming to PC via Steam, though the developers have yet to announce a release date. Players are eager to see how Variable State Studios responds to feedback in the coming months.
