BY AMIT BARAN ROY | Honor Code’s underwater survival horror game, Narcosis, is all set for its launch on PC, Oculus and Xbox One on March 28th 2017. Set at the sunless depths of the Pacific Ocean, this student conceived project has already garnered critical acclaim for its out of the box setting, captivating story line, stunning graphics and effective use of virtual reality. The launch date announcement comes with a bunch of screenshots and an all new ‘#Safe+Dry’ trailer.

Narcosis takes place following an industrial catastrophe, where an industrial diver takes desperate steps to surface the ocean before his oxygen and his lucidity runs out. This first person survival story unfolds from inside a half-ton, high-tech dive suit — a “walking coffin." Though the game is driven by a unique storyline and an unconventional horror setting, Narcosis is rooted in reality, but steeped in the surreal. The key features of the game includes:-

Pressure Kills: High-stress situations accelerate oxygen intake, distorting sight, sound, space and time.
