About Submerged: Hidden Depths
Submerged: Hidden Depths invites players to wander the ruins of a drowned metropolis from a calm, third‑person perspective. You guide the siblings Miku and Taku through towering skyscraper tips, deserted villages and storm‑tossed seas, seeking answers without combat. The game emphasizes gentle discovery: sailing, climbing, and solving environmental puzzles while gathering relics that hint at the city’s past. Its design centers on relaxation and visual storytelling rather than traditional challenges.
01 / THE GUIDE
Exploration of Sunken Ruins
The world is presented as a vast, submerged city where skyscraper remnants rise above the water. Players move through these areas on foot, uncovering details of the abandoned civilization. Environmental storytelling is conveyed through visual cues and scattered relics, encouraging players to piece together the history without dialogue or combat.
- Take time to observe the skyline; the height of structures hints at the original scale of the city.
- Notice how different zones sit at different heights above the water; they can guide you toward new sections.
02 / THE GUIDE
Boat Travel Across Waters
A small boat lets you cross tranquil waters and navigate storm‑driven white‑caps. The vessel serves as the primary means of moving between distant ruins. Sailing is presented as a calm activity, with the sea’s surface reflecting the mood of each area, from peaceful to turbulent.
- Watch the wave patterns; calmer sections often lead to hidden coves.
- Use the boat to reach ruins that would be hard to approach any other way.

03 / THE GUIDE
Collecting Mysterious Relics
Scattered throughout the environment are relics from a distant past. Gathering these items adds layers to the narrative and hints at the city’s salvation. Each relic is placed in a context that encourages players to explore corners of the ruins they might otherwise overlook.
- Explore thoroughly around the ruins; relics can be tucked into spots you might otherwise overlook.
- Keep an eye out for unusual objects in dark alcoves while exploring.
04 / THE GUIDE
Climbing Structures
Players can climb the crumbling tips of skyscrapers and other vertical surfaces. Climbing opens new viewpoints and pathways that deepen the sense of scale. The mechanic is integrated with the environment, allowing seamless transitions between ground and height without combat interruptions.
- Use higher platforms to spot distant landmarks that guide your route.
- Exploring around the base of structures can reveal details you missed from above.
