A group of researchers detected some strange anomalies of unknown nature and organized an expedition to examine this mysterious phenomenon. After 681 days, contact with the researchers suddenly breaks off. In Hidden Deep, you lead a team of four researchers to a mysterious facility 1,6 km below the ocean floor in order to find out what has happened to the station's crew who have seemingly disappeared.

You must command your team members and find out what happened to your colleagues in a dark sci-fi story inspired by 80s and 90s classics like Alien, The Thing and the first Half-Life game.

Explore the depths using a variety of gadgets, shoot, blast or sneak your way through dangerous traps and alien lairs and try not to get eaten by the facility’s inhabitants (including your own crew members!).

Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developer Cogwheel Software announced that Hidden Deep will be released into Steam Early Access on January 24, 2022.

Interested fans can already check out the closed playtest/beta on Steam. The beta will run until January 3rd, 2022 at 7 pm CET. 

From today on, playtesters will also be able to cooperate with their friends to explore the vast levels for the first time in dedicated coop missions!
