Well thought out survival themed game about an ordinary man who finds himself suddenly trapped in the middle of a huge disaster and facing possible death. The gameplay effectively combines real time, multiple threats, red herrings, realistic inventory items and helpful optional actions.
April 2011
If you want underwater madness, grisly deaths and a heavy dose of frantic brain-racking I humbly suggest you download Submerged - La Sol
We'd love to hear what you think about the game!

This game really surprised me with how good it is. I was not excpecting such a strong game from a single room escape.
WHAM once again proves that he knows suspense and atmosphere. The sense of urgency created by a slowly, but steadily flooding darkening room creates a feeling of claustrophobia and back-of-the-mind panic that frustrates and at the same time makes the player want to come back for more.
If you're looking for an old-school adventure game that can do horror without resorting to cheap scares or encroaching monsters, this is the game for you.
Fun to play with nice voice-acting, interesting setting, good use of a timed-threat and believable puzzles that allow for some flexibility. Kudos for the effective water effects as well.
My only real annoyance was the emergency exit hotspot in the middle of the location which I kept activating while I only wanted to the other side.
Amazing short game. Challenging, good sound effects, music, ambiance and speech. A must play !
My only wish is that all AGS game would be of a such good quality.
Good use of timing and realistic danger to the character outside his control. The way the environment changed (water rising, lights dimming) added to the sense of urgency.
Saving and returning to saves is tricky as its impossible to tell how close a save is to disaster (i.e. if you can change your fate from a particular position or whether there just isn't enough time)
