Summary

Submerged is a third-person combat-free game in which you explore a mysterious flooded city and discover the beauty of desolation in vast outdoor environments. You take on the role of Miku, a young girl who has brought her wounded brother to the city in their small fishing boat. Navigate the flooded city streets by boat, scale the drowned buildings, and use your telescope to scour the city for the supplies needed to save your dying sibling. As you explore the city at your own pace, you encounter the habitat that flourishes in this colorful place and discover hidden objects that piece together the story of a broken world and a broken family.

Storyline

Submerged is a peaceful, combat-free exploration adventure set in a dystopian future where rising seas have drowned the world, leaving only the tallest buildings of a once-great city jutting from the endless ocean. The story follows a young girl named Miku and her seriously injured younger brother, Taku, who drift into these flooded ruins after fleeing a troubled home. Alone and desperate to save Taku, Miku takes shelter atop a towering clock tower and sets out across the sunken cityscape in a small motorized boat. Her quest is a simple but urgent one: to find the supplies she needs to treat her brother's wounds. Guided only by her wits, she rows between the half-submerged towers, clambering up crumbling facades to reach relief crates left behind during the crisis. As she pieces together fragments of what became of this place, Miku pushes deeper into the mysterious, waterlogged world in the hope of keeping her brother alive.
