About the game
Important: DOWN BELOW is an escape room adventure that is played in virtual reality. It can only be played with VR glasses (e.g. cardboard) with a click function. Here we go! You come back to yourself, the only thing you see are the colorful fish in front of you. The rest of the room is pitch dark. You can hear a strange, muffled sound. It takes a little while before you realize that you are under water, in the depths of the sea. Then you remember what happened ... You had an argument with the sellers of an old submarine that you wanted to buy and renovate. When you arrived at the old port, you could see immediately that the submarine was not in the offered condition. This junk box was never worth 1.2 million euros! Before you even knew what was going on, the sellers pulled out a gun, took the money, and pushed you into the submarine ... That was the last thing you can remember. An alarm suddenly sounds in the submarine, a voice drowns him out: “The emergency mode has been initiated. Open the emergency door. "A few seconds later the second instruction follows:" Another 15 minutes of oxygen. Repeat, another 15 minutes of oxygen. ”At least the emergency lights have come on. A look at the clock reveals that it is just 14:17. That means: at 14:32 you either got out of the boat or you will never escape ...
