The Pumpworks
Wet and industrial: flooded galleries, sump corridors, the Loop C pipes and pump P-2.
Work the valves and the bypass until every gauge reads the target on the placard.

Rowan Vale wakes in a decompression berth at Morva Station, three thousand metres below the surface.
The left hand is crushed. Eleven days are missing. Rowan feels nothing about either, and knows that the nothing is wrong.

A woman's voice on the badge radio knows Rowan's name, and is afraid of something she will not say. The station's treatment records list four dates beside ROWAN VALE.
“Four dates by my name. I remember one.”
Through the workshop glass, a thin figure crouches at the lift charger, pulls the last cable free and drags itself away.

The Quiet Below is a first-person psychological horror game set in one continuous research station on the ocean floor. Restore what failed, read what was left behind, and decide what to do with what you find.
The way to the sealed Witness Core runs through three failing systems. Each one answers part of the question, and each one changes what the others mean.

Wet and industrial: flooded galleries, sump corridors, the Loop C pipes and pump P-2.
Work the valves and the bypass until every gauge reads the target on the placard.

Dry and dark: a repair bay where tissue has grown over a body bag.
Tune band, phase and gain until the spectrum matches.
Paper and dust, reached through a crawlway.
Set dated records in order on a timeline board, and find where they contradict each other.

The station keeps records of everything and speaks only in procedure. A refusal is a continuity fault. A request for help is unauthorized traffic. Treatment logs, signed forms, placards, recordings and the machines themselves tell the rest, if you are willing to read them.

The Attendant moves through the lower decks with a purpose of its own. It is not always hunting you. That does not make it safe.
It hears what you do, searches where it last saw you, and cannot be fought. Move quietly, use doors and other routes, and learn what draws it before it learns where you are.
In-engine captures from the current build. Open any frame to see all twelve.
Contains dead bodies, dried blood, body horror imagery, flickering lights, confined spaces, a creature that pursues the player, memory loss and themes of medical coercion, grief and confinement. Being caught fades the screen to black, with no gore on death. There is no sexual content and no drug use.

Everything Rowan uncovers leads to one decision at the bottom of the station.
There are two endings. Neither one is the right one.
