Hello, I'm Paul. Some time ago, I posted some screenshots of my game project "Deep Sheol". Today, I wanted to present some short gameplay.

I've been working on the game for less than a year. Initially, it was supposed to be a retro shooter with horror and sci-fi elements, but month by month, new ideas kept coming to me, and the project evolved more towards an immersive sim / survival horror.

The visual side of Deep Sheol is inspired by the first Half-Life. I wanted the game to be in a retro style, which I like very much. The player interface I created refers to the classic sci-fi vibe from the turn of the 80s and 90s in films, books, and games. The plot presents the mission of a corporate agent, Seth, who was sent to investigate an alarm triggered at a gas extraction facility.

The game is being developed in Unity 3D (the Linux version).
I also use my favorite tools: Blender (version 2.79b :D ), GIMP, VS Code, and Audacity – everything running on my trusty old Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon setup.
My current specs are an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (recently upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1600 AF), 32 GB RAM, and a GTX 970.

The game demo (just like the full version when it's finished) has a native Linux build.

Initially, the project was intended as a retro FPS/boomer shooter with horror elements. It subconsciously evolved into a crossover between Half-Life and Resident Evil.

The game's setting is inspired by 80s-90s sci-fi movies, with Lovecraftian mythology woven in.

If anyone wants to check out Deep Sheol, I’m dropping the demo links below:

My retro FPS/Horror evolved into a 90s Sci-Fi mix of Half-Life and Resident Evil, with a touch of Lovecraftian mythos. What do you think?

I’ve been working on Deep Sheol for a while now. It started as a classic retro FPS, but it naturally evolved into this 90s Sci-Fi mix of Half-Life and Resident Evil, with some Lovecraftian mythos creeping in the background.

I just released a major update for the demo (including Steam Achievements).
