Iron Lung is a walking simulator with elements of horror, in which you will have to travel through a bloody sea located on the lunar surface.
The plot
This is an abstract dystopia in which you get the role of an alien astronaut. You are the captain of a small submarine that plies the bloody seas. Your world is depleted, natural resources are running out, maybe this mysterious anomaly will give you a chance to revive? There will be no screamers, ghosts or demons here. Fear is caused by an unsettling state of uncertainty. You feel completely lost and alone. Will you be able to figure out the cause of the bloody ocean and return home?
Gameplay
You explore the world around you through your ship's periscope and camera. Take pictures of anything you find curious, fill out reports, and speculate about life.
Why exactly are you in this decrepit boat and what awaits you in the depths of scarlet water? This project was made by one man, an indie developer named David Szymanski.
