Underwater Horror Game Inspired by Dead Space & H.P. Lovecraft

Check out Deep Dark Sea, a newly announced horror game powered by Unreal Engine 5.

Patrik Hansson, the CEO and Founder at Corncrow Games AB, has recently shared a new teaser trailer providing an in-depth look at Deep Dark Sea, Corncrow's atmospheric underwater horror game powered by Unreal Engine 5.

Capturing the essence and visual appeal of the upcoming game, the trailer follows an underwater explorer as they wander the unnerving sea floor, battling gigantic crustaceans and stumbling upon the haunting skeletal remains of a long-deceased ocean giant along the way. As stated by the author, the game was inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Jules Verne, and H.R. Giger and combines the feelings of Dead Space, Zelda: The Wind Wake, Subnautica, Elden Ring, and Valheim.

Even though Deep Dark Sea is in its early development stages, the teaser trailer has already garnered significant attention thanks to its unsettling atmosphere and immersive gameplay. According to Patrik, the features showcased are just a glimpse of what the upcoming experience will offer, with the team planning to introduce more chilling creatures and enhance the overall "ominous foreboding feeling" as development progresses.

Here are some of the earlier screenshots shared by Corncrow Games AB:
