Spanish indie studio Path Games has unveiled Dark Mass, a chilling new psychological horror game set entirely underwater. ๐ญ Dark Mass will launch in Fall 2026 and is being developed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. ๐น๏ธ Prepare to explore the depths of terror in this spine-tingling deep-sea adventure! ๐ท๏ธ
๐ฏ๏ธ A Haunted Manor Beneath the Ocean
Founded in 2017, Barcelona-based Path Games made a splash in the horror scene with their first game, Insomnis (2022). Now, theyโre back with Dark Mass, a first-person psychological horror game that aims to take terror to new depthsโliterally. ๐
In Dark Mass, players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea diver who discovers a sunken manor after a seismic event. Trapped within its haunted, crumbling walls, Alice must solve dark ancient rituals to escape while facing underwater horrors that lurk in the depths. ๐ณ๏ธ๐งฉ
๐ช Inspired by Real Historical Tortures
The gameโs atmosphere isnโt just fictionalโit draws inspiration from real historical torture practices. These gruesome influences shape the macabre rituals that Alice must complete, adding a layer of disturbing realism to the already terrifying underwater setting. ๐ฉธ
The reveal trailer offers eerie glimpses of the gameplay and hints at the terrifying creatures that await in the manor. Expect to feel an overwhelming sense of dread as you explore this submerged nightmare. ๐ป
๐ฎ Decent Campaign Length & Replayability
Unlike some shorter horror games, Dark Mass aims to provide a 4 to 6-hour campaign with multiple endings, offering plenty of replay value. Players will make narrative choices that affect the outcome of the story, possibly tied to the gameโs walkie-talkie system, where Alice communicates with her brother, Reed. ๐ป
๐น๏ธ When Can You Play Dark Mass?
Dark Mass is currently targeting a Fall 2026 release and will be available on:
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X/S
- PC (Steam & Epic Games Store)
