Subnautica vs They Breathe

Descend into the depths of an alien underwater world filled with wonder and peril. Craft equipment, pilot submarines and out-smart wildlife to explore lush coral reefs, volcanoes, cave systems, and more, all while trying to survive. After crash landing in your Life Pod, manage oxygen, gather resources, and build habitats as you uncover the mysteries of the deep sea. The open‑world experience offers endless exploration from sun‑lit reefs to dark trenches.

In this first title from The Working Parts, you guide a solitary frog through a submerged, eerie forest. The world is silent, the air is scarce, and every shadow hides a new threat that forces you to learn the hidden rules of survival. Within thirty minutes the game pushes you to uncover bizarre patterns, confront strange creatures, and piece together the tragic truth of the ecosystem—all without a single line of dialogue. The experience blends horror, action, and puzzle‑like observation into a tightly crafted indie adventure.
