The Bends by Phantom Sloth

It’s cold down here, even while close to the surface. 
I can’t hear anything, but the depths calling to me.

Am I destined to die, below?

“The Bends” is a Haunted PS1 Summer Jam entry( HPS1 Summer of Shivers – itch.io ), made in unreal engine 4 and meant to be played with a xbox one controller, and headphones. 
Use your best judgement to guide yourself out of the depths and raise above the grip of the unknown.
Music and sound effects in the game were made by @LarksBreath, please be sure to follow her and I on twitter for future updates on games, and or her fantastic music.
Dev note: In order still meet my promise of the 31st, I was not able to resolve three main issues about the game I feel a need to point out. There is a lack of subtitles, No options yet, and that you MUST use your mouse to select “PLAY GAME” in the main menu. But to be clear the game itself should be played with a controller that reads as a Xbox controller. 
If you like the game please let me know, if the game does well, I will consider a more complex and adventurous version of the game for steam later on. THE BENDS: IRON LUNG. 😉
Thank you for checking this out! 
EDIT: The game does not feature a respawn system, you are meant to play this carefully and vibe with it(Permadeath). You can get out, if you make the right choices, Godspeed fam.
