Abyss

There is audio, and game lags heavily on Firefox.

=The Incident=

The newest shining marvel of marine engineering has gone dark while enroute through the arctic cold to unknown causes, and with the wreckage found all hope was presumed lost aboard the USS Nautilus.

But 16 days after the military submarine vanished from sonar, evidence of survivors has surfaced.

You are to pilot the rescue vessel Nightingale and reach the battered hull of the submarine to ferry off survivors, suspected to be at the very bottom of a deep undersea cavern. But be warned: there may be more in the abyss than just darkness.

=Things to note=

- Once fish turn aggressive they will stay aggressive until either killed or decoy dropped, to which they will then return to a passive state.

- The "points with the numbers beside" are sonar contacts, aka fish. Number refers to size of fish.

-If you havent realized yet, the keypad to the right is a database. Key in the size of the contact and it will return what it is. (Ie: key in "1" and it returns "TUNA")

=Misc things incase you get stuck=

- Press M again to exit the messages menu, M toggles it on and off.

- If you typed the length wrongly, typing more than 3 numbers resets it.

- If you get stuck at the end and you cant rescue because "DANGER NEARBY", that means whatever hostile thing in the neighbouring chamber is still alive

-If you dont know what the keypad thing is. It basically refers to the keypad to the right of the screen. Input the lil number by the side of the contact (ie 1 for 1 m) and click search; and it will give you the type of the contact (assuming it's on the database of course) <THIS IS IMPORTANT

- Decoys essentially drop a fake "you" which fish will attack, and after destroying go back to passive mode. You can use this to escape or gain some distance (provided you dont provoke em with sonar again)
