Our main protagonist is John, a young adventurer and marine biologist. After a shipwreck, you wake up 36.000 feet under the sea in an unknown hostile cave system. You´re severely wounded and attached to an external life support droid called Buddy. Buddy can be controlled using your will to manipulate and scan your surroundings using a special symbol-based interface!(Storyline via IGDB)
