Submarine-based Metroidvania Depths of Sanity announced for Switch

Bomb Shelter Games has announced that Depths of Sanity, their underwater Metroidvania, will be making its way to Switch. It’s aiming to release on the platform later this year.

Depths of Sanity is a Metroidvania which uniquely puts you in control of a submarine. You’ll venture through the oceanic depths to uncover the mysteries of what happened to your previous crew, all while utilizing interesting submarine-based abilities, like a towing line or a sonar.

Here’s an overview of the game with more details:

The first ship went missing.

Now it’s your turn.

When The Baroness submarine goes dark while investigating a massive vibration deep in the ocean, Abe Douglas, the commander who assembled the crew, makes it his responsibility to find out what happened.

As he plunges into the ocean, he has no idea that what he’ll uncover will not only threaten the lives of his crew, but his own sanity. 

360 Degrees of Exploration: 

With full 360 degree movement, there are no double jumps or wall runs to help you under the ocean. Use a wide range of unique tools to uncover your environment, including tow lines that help you pull through heavy currents, and a sonar system that helps you navigate through pitch black darkness.

Massive Interconnected World:

Explore beautiful coral reefs, sunken wrecks, underground magma lairs and much more in your journey to the darkest depths of the ocean.

Deep, Involving Storyline: 

Discover the fate of each crew member of The Baroness and uncover the mystery of the signal coming from the ocean floor. 

Search, Scavenge, Survive:

Danger comes from every angle. Unlock a wide variety of weapons to help you battle monstrous bosses, survive tense set-pieces, and uncover secrets that expand the story and your chances of survival.

Depths of Sanity will be available digitally through the eShop. You can check out the game’s official website here.
