Seeing as how awesome DUSK is, we’ll take anything creator David Szymanski throws our way. And it just so happens that he’s releasing a brand-new aquatic horror title this March!

Releasing on March 10th and sounding like something you’d expect from death metal band Dethklok, Iron Lung is a short-but-sweet horror title coming to Steam where you pilot a tiny submarine through an ocean of blood on an alien moon.

Obviously, there’s more to it than that. The story goes that decades ago, every known star and inhabitable planet in the galaxy mysteriously vanished. The remnants of humanity are left in an empty universe of asteroids and lifeless moons. With supplies getting low, and their space stations falling into disrepair, all hope was lost until the discovery of an anomaly known as a Blood Ocean was discovered on an otherwise barren moon.

Initial scans show a collection of potentially useful anomalous locations in a deep undersea trench, and you’ve been selected to go in and check it out.

Piloting your sub (the eponymous Iron Lung), you have a single porthole to see where you’re going. You’re tasked with taking photographs of these anomalies, all the while using an incomplete map, proximity sensors, sound, and your low-res camera to make your way around.

Oh, and to make things interesting, you’ve also got to do it before the pressure causes your sub to collapse in on itself. Not to mention that there may be something lurking beneath the sea that doesn’t take too kindly to visitors.
