A spooky dive into procgen, eldritch horror-ridden waters
"Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride's designer has just released his first new game as a solo-developer, and it's maybe the last thing you'd expect from the casual game maestro.
Since leaving the small-screen swipers behind, developer Luke Muscat has been hammering away at Feed the Deep, a spooky "Lovecraftian roguelike" that sends you down into pitch-black ocean depths and procgen undersea caves to feed the eldritch horror lurking below - while trying not to become water Cthulhu food yourself..."
This takes all my anxiety from Ecco the Dolphin and pumps it up on steroids. I enjoy a good horror game but I admit that the eldritch horror/thalassophobia combo is almost too strong of a dose of fear for me at times. Therefore, I'm putting this on my "really want to play it but also am terrified to do so" list right next to Dredge.
Dredge is very tame, so unless the mere idea of eldritch horror is a problem, dredge should be fine. Great game.
