Shinsekai: Into the Depths is now available on Nintendo Switch! The action-based, deep-sea exploration can be downloaded digitally for the system, where players get to experience the solitary struggle of the last-surviving human, as they sink ever deeper into an unexplored, aquatic world. Players will need to collect resources, upgrade gear and craft new items to advance into the abyss and escape a rapidly approaching ice age.
Keep an eye out for your oxygen and pressure levels as you explore the mysterious ruins, trying to uncover their secrets. To enhance the underwater atmosphere, Capcom Japan developers rerecorded music and sound effects played through submerged speakers for that extra level of underwater realism.
The land has been covered with ice, forcing mankind to take refuge in the ocean.
Years have passed, but the all-consuming ice moves slowly but steadily on, and civilization has fallen into decay.
One lone survivor lives on in solitude.
Desolate days lead into aimless nights, and the aquanaut passes the time in rote repetition.
But one day, a chance encounter leads to the discovery of a mysterious drone-like machine.
That meeting will lead them both deeper into a vast undersea world.
“What happened to the world above?”
“Are there others out there?”
“What secrets lie at the bottom of the ocean?”
Venture deeper as you seek answer to these and other questions whose answers may lie down below.
The undersea world that awaits is both beautiful and terrible.
Encounter sea creatures, brave mounting water pressure, and conserve oxygen as you press on into the undersea ruins, seeking the truth.
New features have been added to Shinsekai with its Nintendo Switch release, including the all-new “Another Dive” time-challenge mode with two difficulty levels, and “Jukebox Mode”.
In “Another Dive”, descend through a perilous maze as quickly as possible to confront a monstrous new threat. Once completed, players can truly test their mettle with Hardcore mode, which puts players into an antique diving suit and even less resources.
If you prefer, audiophiles can play through Jukebox Mode instead, to listen to their favourite background music anytime, and tinker with audio filters such as music depth. These new modes will be added in a free title update for Apple Arcade subscribers on 27 March.
