Escape a confusing cave system without being eaten in this short, underwater horror game.
Swim as fast as you can to escape a terrifying monster in Barren Depths. Barren Depths has two distinct sections. The Start - A vast area covered in rocks, an eerie fog hinders your vision as you explore. Two 'objectives' can be found here, with one lying at some old ruins. The Cave - A confusing cave system with many twists and turns. Try and navigate your way out of the cave without being eaten alive! In order to exit the cave you must first break the wall blocking the exit by finding a mysterious statue. The End - Once you've escaped the cave you will trigger one of the two endings based on the 'objectives' from the start.
