Bei einem U-Bahncrash werden Menschen im unterirdischen Tunnellabyrinth eingeschlossen. Verzweifelt suchen sie einen Ausweg, während Starkregenfälle den Untergrund fluten. Navigiere das Tauchboot durch das Tunnelsystem und finde heraus, wie Du ihnen helfen kannst. In diesem Audiogame siehst Du nichts. Anhand der Geräusche und Sonartöne kannst Du das Tauchboot navigieren. Über Funk bekommst Du Informationen von der Rettungsleitstelle. Die gefährliche Unternehmung ist eine extreme Raumerfahrung und von Deinem Geschick hängt das Leben der im Untergrund eingeschlossenen Menschen ab. Dieses Audiogame ist Teil eines intermedialen Audiodramas, das mit Hörspiel und Audiowalk weitere Zugänge in die Handlung anbietet. Das Game wurde von Regine Elbers als praktischer Teil ihrer künstlerischen Forschung am Experimentellen Radio der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar entwickelt – in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bayerischen Rundfunk, gefördert von Center for Technology & Society (CTS) Wien.
