Conversation is a dangerous game. This short narrative puzzle will submerse you in an atmospheric world of tension-filled sci-fi where manipulating a fractured band of deep-sea divers is the key to survival. Uncover alliances and expose betrayals — before your leaky sub fills with water, or something even more horrific from the depths silences you all. 

Pick your mission, and release your submersible SubVee into an unrelenting sea. Will you side with the Surfacers, who keep the dangers of the depths at bay from their overworld city? Or will you align yourself with a diverse cast of misfits from an underwater base, hidden in the deepest fathoms of the dark? 

Your SubVee is a dilemma to the divers who find you. Follow hints from the surface to offer them the right handles at the right time. You need their agreement to move forward, but it won't come easily. Navigate a dark maze of emotional dynamics to find leverage to guide them toward consensus.

Time is limited—your leaky SubVee is slowly filling with water. But something even more sinister lurks in the fathomless deep. Everytime the eldritch shadow of the Krake appears, the divers scatter, only to return and whisper of their missing leader, the enigmatic figure known only as The Mind.  

Escape your claustrophobic situation by following your directives—or rebel yourself—there are many ways out. And just as many ways to die. As more divers join, and pull you further into their dysfunction, you’ve got to think carefully to anchor your fate. Don’t let the conversation get too deep.

Read the prequel to surface the origins of The Mind and his underwater renegades. In Subtle Mind, an idle fisherman's impulsive act unravels The Surfacer’s lies, revealing a hidden world beneath the city’s eternal waterfall. Accused of attempted assassination, The Mind enlists the help of a small pet krake to flee his past and murderous pursuers both, sparking a rebellion that leads to the events of Sub-Verge. Novella, 74 pg PDF, w/ color illustrations character illustrations from Art Director Tiia Reijonen, available as a separate DLC, alongside the game!
