About

Deep Bell

Features
Read full description

A town sank on a night of storm forty years ago. Its bell is still ringing. Drill down through the seabed and bring up what the town left behind. You are a diver with no name. From the salvage barge Kamome-maru you ride a diving bell down to Shizugane, the harbour town the sea took. • A seabed that shifts: sand pours into your tunnels, rubble tumbles and lava hardens where it meets the water. Every dig changes the ground beneath you. • Light and air: lamp oil, an air hose and a reserve tank. Fill your satchel, empty it at the bell, and go again. • Lower the bell down the tunnel you dug, and start your next dive from there. • Six depths, six worlds: the Shallows, Shizugane, the Cathedral, the Ship Graveyard, the Vents and the Trench, where the Great Bell lies. • 43 relics and 15 keepsakes, each holding a piece of the town's last night. • Restore the clock tower, the organ and the foundry, and rebuild the harbour. • A crew of three: a gruff captain, an engineer with no time for superstition, and a boy kept awake by a bell beneath the sea. And a question no one asks out loud: who is the diver? • Eels that steal your ore, squid that ink, crabs, anglerfish. They are few, and all give fair warning. Or switch on relaxed mode: no injuries, no thieving eels, just you, the dark water and the dig. • Play one-handed, in portrait. • A pixel-art sea, and music that shifts as you go deeper. Buy once. No ads, no in-app purchases. Plays offline.
