What it is

Depth is an online multiplayer first-person game that pits teams of treasure-hunting divers against players controlling sharks in murky underwater arenas. Divers use firearms, harpoons, and explosives to protect a submersible and collect sunken loot, while sharks stalk and devour them, growing stronger with each kill. The action is fast and tense, with blood clouding the water during attacks, and the dark, enclosed ocean gives it a scary, claustrophobic feel. It is played live with and against strangers using open voice and text chat, and it offers optional cosmetic purchases.

How it's framed

The game frames its violence as competitive predator-versus-prey sport: sharks are rewarded for hunting and eating divers, and divers are rewarded for killing sharks and escaping with treasure. There is no story or moral judgment attached; the tension and fear come from the survival-and-hunt premise rather than any darker subject matter.
