Underwater metroidvania 'Depths of Sanity' hits Switch in 2022
Hook, line, and sinking feeling
There are plenty of metroidvania titles available on the Switch, but when was the last time you played one that took place entirely underwater? The most recent example I can think of is Shinsekai: Into the Depths, but that felt like a metroidvania mixed with survival components. If you’re looking for a full-on, traditional metroidvania in an underwater setting, you might want to keep an eye on Depths of Sanity.
When The Baroness submarine goes dark while investigating a massive vibration deep in the ocean, Abe Douglas, the commander who assembled its 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.
Depths of Sanity is wrapping up a chapter-by-chapter release on Steam Early Access in the near future, but the full game will be making its way to Switch sometime later this year. For now, you can read more details about Depths of Sanity below.
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.
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.
Search, Scavenge, Stay Alive:
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.
Danger from Every Angle:
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.
