Check out Endless Blue, a PS1-style indie game set in an eerie underwater research facility.
Indie Game Developer and Motion Graphics Artist Matthew DiVito, a.k.a. mr. div, has recently shipped a demo version of Endless Blue, an incredible retro-style horror game inspired by such classics as Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil.
First unveiled back in 2021 during the Haunted PS1's Summer of Shivers Game Jam, Endless Blue was developed with the goal of recreating both the aesthetics and gameplay elements of sci-fi horror games from the 90s. The newly launched demo features the original 2021 version of the game, as well as some new levels, enemies, and puzzles, an upgraded inventory system, many QoL changes, bug fixes, and more. The demo has around 45 minutes worth of gameplay and is accessible for free.
"While this game does have checkpoints, it does not have a save game feature – your progress will be lost on exit," warns the developer. "However, choosing 'Load Game' from the main menu will take you to roughly the half-way point of the demo."
