The story so far

What we know about Dark Mass

Dark Mass is a first-person psychological horror game from the Spanish studio Path Games, set entirely underwater. Players take the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who finds a manor that has lain beneath an ancient shipwreck for centuries. Trapped in its decaying halls, she has to uncover the history of the place and solve ritualistic puzzles. The Steam page pitches it as a thalassophobia-driven experience and calls it the first horror game set fully underwater.

Alice keeps in contact with her brother Reed by walkie-talkie, with voiced dialogue, while an ancient entity named Silas hunts the manor. The puzzles are inspired by historical torture rituals, and the choices Alice makes shape how her story ends. The game is listed for PC on Steam, with Xbox Series X|S and PS5 also announced. Selecta Play has revealed a physical PS5 release in a Standard and a Collector's Edition. No release date has been announced.
