Stranded on the seafloor with low light and few tools, an industrial diver takes desperate steps to surface before his dwindling oxygen — and sanity — give out.
This first person survival story unfolds from inside a “walking coffin” — a half-ton, high-tech deep-sea dive suit — following an industrial catastrophe. Influenced and inspired by a growing appetite for unconventional horror and narrative-driven games, Narcosis is rooted in reality, but steeped in the surreal.

Narcosis is a horror walking simulator.
You are an undersea miner cut off from the surface and any support. You are wearing a heavy-duty industrial dive suit with flares, flashlights, and thrusters - cheerfully nicknamed a walking coffin. Your goal is to survive and find a way out of this nightmare.
The game has a few puzzles and you have to ensure not to running out of O2.
Narcosis takes around 3 hours to finish. It is short but it has an intelligent, well-delivered story and great atmosphere. It can be played in VR and normal.

The pressure is there, it's real, palpable and intense. O2 is in short supply and deep sea creatures hungry for a snack lurk in any darkened space ready to strike. I've soiled my EVA suit more than once.

I read the other negative reviews, they are simply not true. THe server room is actually very easy, there is no shortage of oxygen (oxygen is everywhere), save points are good. Shouldn't be a problem for a normal gamer.
it's not only going forward all the time, sometimes you have to think about where to go and what to do.
great story with a great final twist! Great Atmosphere! 2-3 hours. Totally recommended if you like underwater stuff!!

This isnt a long game but it doesnt have to be. it doesnt drag the plot along and its concise in its storytelling. I really enjoyed this game and i think it was very well made. from the environment, to the sound to the creatures it was wonderful and it all felt like it was in its place at the seabed. The sense of hopeless dread one comes to feel shows just how powerful the game's storytelling is. The dive suit provides a very fitting sense of immobile defenselessness that adds to the atmosphere. The mental decline and hallucinations from increased breathing at such intense pressures really help to bind this game to reality as its all stuff one would experience in such a situation and considering underwater mining is increasing in its popularity an event such as one detailed in this game could happen any moment. all in all this was a wonderful game and the ending really hit hard and still has me thinking about it, a game to be remembered. i highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unconventional horror experience.

Decent horror game with very nice atmosphere and a bit claustrophobic undertone.
Good graphics, quite unexpected ending and a way you can protect yourself from some are definite pros.
Clunky controls, elements of a platformer game, predictable scares and crab spiders can F off though :/
Buy it when it's on sale and ou're looking for a non-paranormal spook :P

invited a girl home, made her try this game, she was too scared by it to do "anything" else after playing 1 hour on it.
