Sustaining

——Dive, dive, dive again
Sustaining is a horror game set in a submarine made for LudumDare54.In the game, you will play as the captain of a deep-diving vessel, leading six crew members with distinct personalities into unknown areas of the deep sea. Due to the high-pressure environment, your a deep-submergence vehicle（DSV）has only a few detection methods and minimal armament against the outside world. You must effectively use sonar and outside-the-cabin cameras to deal with unknown threats and try to survive.

Be careful with your camera! Some things may be risky even just by looking at them with the naked eye.

-Drive your DSV carefully, use sonar to detect and avoid dangers. If necessary, you can try to use weapons to eliminate threats, but we cannot guarantee that torpedoes will be effective in all situations.

-We have thoughtfully prepared a tactical operation mode (in this mode, you can temporarily stop time and make multiple operations on the submarine at the same time! Use it well).

-You can try to use an external camera to confirm the situation outside, but you will have to pay the price of facing the unknown directly.

-During the dive, the crew will gradually face mental collapse, and your equipment will gradually fail due to crew vacancies. You may gradually learn the truth of “deep sea” through various communications with the crew.

-Use the space bar to enter time-stop tactical mode

-Use “W” and “S” to control floating and diving

-Use “A” and “D” to control forward and backward

-Use number key “1” “2” “3” to switch modes

-Click the center of the screen to use sonar

-Use the mouse to operate sonar, weapons, shooting, etc.

-Use “H” to seek medical help
