BOREDEAUX, FRANCE – February 9th, 2026
Indie developer Ryan R. Burns has launched his first indie title, The Oily Depths. Ryan was a developer in the AAA-space at Blizzard and Ubisoft, working on titles like World of Warcraft: Legion and Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
The Oily Depths is a short horror game set in a submarine deep beneath the sea. You must locate and drill for oil or your corporate overlords will stop your supply of oxygen.
Features:
Pilot your sub
Utilize all your gauges, meters, and monitors as your visibility is limited within the sub. Carefully navigate the sea floor to locate the oil extraction targets.
Operate dangerous drilling machinery
Flip levers, grab tools, set locking-arms, and more. You will need to gain a mastery of each part of your equipment until it's a part of you...
Avoid drowning, burning alive, or being eaten...
This work is not for the faint of heart...
