Iron Lung is a science fiction indie horror game. It was created by David Szymanski (also known for DUSK, The Pony Factory and Squirrel Stapler) with the Unity engine and released on March 10th, 2022.The game is set in a world where every star and habitable planet in the universe inexplicably vanished, taking the inhabitants with them in an event known as the "Quiet Rapture." Decades later, the survivors struggle to survive and maintain society on space stations and barren moons. Some of these sparsely explored moons have strange phenomena, with one moon in particular being home to a mysterious ocean of blood.The player controls a convict who is tasked with taking a ramshackle submarine to the bottom of this blood ocean to explore and photograph points of interest for researchers, in the hopes of finding useful resources. If the player completes their mission and returns with the photographs, they will be granted their freedom. But with the submarine rapidly falling apart, rudimentary navigation technology and ever-decreasing oxygen levels, survival itself is a challenge. To say nothing of what may be lurking in the bloody depths...On April 21st, 2023, a film adaptation of the game was announced, to be written and directed by Markiplier. It has also had two fan-made adaptations. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: An ocean of blood would be too thick for traditional photography to work under. The only way the convict could take any pictures showing points of interest, is via sonar imagery. | |

Rivers of Blood: A whole ocean of blood in this case. How it came to exist is never revealed. It gets even more bizarre when a terminal entry reveals that the ocean is made from human blood. | |

Alternative Calendar: Instead of AD or CE, humanity now uses EIC (Epoch of Interplanetary Colonization), which is based on Earth's rotation. 0 EIC corresponds with 1992 AD. The Quiet Rapture happened 357 EIC, and the game itself is set 378 EIC, putting the game's events in 2370 AD. Eden also uses the IMC (Interstellar Martian Calendar), which is based on Mars' rotation. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The game's setting is established as bleak and spooky right off the bat: decades ago all the habitable planets and stars mysteriously disappeared, along with all the people on said planets. The only survivors were people on moons and space stations. Resources are running out and infrastructure is starting to crumble. Whoever's in charge also have no problem sending the player to the bottom of the ocean in a sub-par submarine to carry out a dangerous mission, as they're seen as more "disposable" than actual researchers because they're a convicted criminal. | |

What a Piece of Junk | |
| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_437e70f5 | comment |
What a Piece of Junk: The SM-13 is a submarine built from rusting space station parts that spends the game slowly falling apart while operating at a depth well beyond what it is certified for, meaning that its sole porthole needs to be sealed shut. Nonetheless, it does a commendable job at navigating the depths of the moon. In the end, it's an attack from a sea monster that destroys the submarine rather than the vehicle itself. | |

| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Once the convict encounters the sea monster when close to their final objective, there's no escape from their submarine being torn apart and them being eaten. It's then revealed that the researchers weren't able to get much information from the expedition and aren't able to retrieve the submarine and any data it contains at this time, so it can come off as having been All for Nothing. The researchers do close out the game by stating there must be hope out there somewhere... just not here. | |

Wham Shot | |
| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_4e7f703c | comment |
Wham Shot: Quite literally a part of the game's mechanics. Due to the immense pressure at the bottom of the blood ocean, the only view of outside is a crappy little camera that can only take low-resolution snapshots of what is directly in front of the vessel—and sometimes, let's just say it's better not to know what's in front of your vessel. | |

Minimalism | |

Minimalism: The entirety of the game is based around this, given that it's never explained if the habitable planets and all the stars suddenly ceased to exist during the "Quiet Rapture" or were taken to another dimension or somewhere far far away, as the name would potentially suggest. There's also the fact that it's stated that the blood oceans on the moons are made out of HUMAN blood, although it's unknown if it's "just" human blood with no actual owner, or if it's what happened to the humans on the habitable planets. | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The eponymous submarine itself.

Critical Existence Failure: Making contact with any walls or obstacles, even gently, leads to the submarine's hull rupturing and an immediate game over.

The Cosmic Horror of this game's setting is also based on this. There's no explanation as to why the "quiet rapture" happened, what it really is, or where all the stars and habitable planets went, along with the people on them; why it is that uninhabitable moons and space stations, along with the people on those stations, were the only thing left, and why they were excluded from its effects; or whether the blood oceans existed before the rapture or not, and why they are made out of blood. | |

Giant Eye of Doom: During your exploration, you are tasked with taking pictures of what is within the blood seas of the moon you are on since you cannot look out of the porthole and have to rely upon the photographs for navigation. One of the things you wind up taking a picture of is a massive sea monster's eyeball staring directly at you, which roars and knocks at your submarine before swimming away. | |

Boxed Crook | |
| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_794095d7 | comment |
Boxed Crook: The player character is told that if they complete the research mission on the blood moon, they will be released from prison. It isn't made clear what exactly they did to get put in prison in the first place. Of course, the line about "release" is a lie; the top brass fully expect you to die down there, whether by crashing the sub or being killed by whatever destroyed the last sub. Best-case scenario, you'll be allowed to suffocate in peace after bringing the pictures back. This is system is a wide-spread institution in the COI known as "conviction realization", which is seen as community service. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: On the way to the final points of interest, the radar will suddenly report something right in front of the submarine, even though the map says there shouldn't be anything there. If you turn away and backtrack, the radar still says you're right up next to something. When you face the obstacle and take a picture, you're met with a giant eyeball staring into the camera. The monster that you just blinded responds by ramming the sub before swimming away, likely why you start to take on blood and ultimately get attacked at the final point of interest. | |

| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_87738d17 | comment |
Blind Driving: Because the depths the Iron Lung must explore are well beyond what the submersible is rated for, the entire thing is welded shut and all the portholes are sealed. You must use a proximity sensor, coordinate reader and map, and camera to determine where you are and what's going on around you. | |

Just Before the End: Downplayed, but the entire game takes place in a pretty hopeless setting, with the rest of humanity, as well as most planets and stars, completely gone. Gradually, this mission is revealed to be a last-ditch attempt and essentially a Targeted Human Sacrifice. | |

| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_8e3b5b4d | comment |
Minimalist Cast: The player is the only character who 'appears' onscreen (the game takes place in first-person, so the player is a First-Person Ghost). At the start we hear the voice of one of the researchers communicating with the player, but they never physically appear. Beyond some vague references to other researchers and some kind of governing body, there's only two characters. It helps highlight the player's sense of isolation down in the depths. It's sort of Justified, as the entire human race has been reduced to a total of 725 known humans. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: Type Universal, the severity level hovering somewhere between Societal Disruption and Societal Collapse, with possible extinctions and physical destruction in some areas. In the backstory, a mysterious event known as "the Quiet Rapture" saw every habitable planet in the known universe vanish along with the people (and plants and animals) on them, never to be seen again. The stars all disappeared too. All of this is bad news for the survivors, given the loss of both many resources and the conditions to create new resources. | |

Apocalyptic Log: An unconventional example.

Informational Terminal will unlock a secret log from some insider telling you about the SM-8 was a sub that was actually designed to search the blood oceans, but ended up destroyed by something down here. The reason you've been sent is to try and find more info that might be useful. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The nature of the Quiet Rapture is left to this. On one hand, the fact that the vanished stars still emit ghostlight seems to suggest that the event followed the laws of physics, raising the possibility that it is a natural phenomenon. On the other hand, the SM-13's terminal claims that nobody witnessed the disappearance of a planet, which seems hard to believe unless something of inconceivable power is at play. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: Much of the game's tension and scares comes from this. The player has extremely limited vision of the world outside the sub, relying only on grainy black and white snapshots. All these confirm is that there is definitely something out there but we're never quite sure what or where that something is. The Cosmic Horror of this game's setting is also based on this. There's no explanation as to why the "quiet rapture" happened, what it really is, or where all the stars and habitable planets went, along with the people on them; why it is that uninhabitable moons and space stations, along with the people on those stations, were the only thing left, and why they were excluded from its effects; or whether the blood oceans existed before the rapture or not, and why they are made out of blood. | |

Spooky Photographs: The big premise of the game. You are welded into a submarine and forced to navigate a trench while your only view of the outside world comes from taking still images with a front-mounted camera. These photographs are in grainy black and white, making it very hard to pick out details in them with any kind of reassuring clarity. A foreboding photograph you take at one of the locations of interest contains the face of the creature that ambushes you at the end, lurking in the background. Take another picture and the monster is gone. | |

Almost Out of Oxygen: As the game progresses, an "oxygen" reading inside the submarine will gradually tick down. By the time the expedition reaches its climax, you'll find yourself on your last reserves of breathable air. Rather than being Oxygen Meter in gameplay terms, the level depletes with story progression instead of it being real-time — gameplay-wise your oxygen is infinite. You could just idle at the start of the game for 3-4 hours and your oxygen would still be near-full. | |

Sci-Fi Horror: The "Quiet Rapture" has left what little remains of humanity in a desolate universe.

| Iron Lung (Video Game) / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Car: Or more specifically, the alleged submarine. The Iron Lung is a tiny, rust bucket of a submarine that really isn't suited to exploring bodies of water at the depth required. It has been cobbled together from space station parts left over by the quiet rapture, but is currently the best the researchers have to work with. Because the sub can't really handle the pressure, the player is welded in and the only window is sealed over, forcing them to rely on coordinates, sonar and a cruddy camera to navigate. Even then, the damn thing starts getting leaks late in the game. Oh, and that fire extinguisher is on the wall for a good reason too. | |

Artistic License – Physics: As you progress through the game, the sub will eventually leak and gradually flood with ocean blood, and you'll get a good enough glimpse of the sea monster bursting through sub before it eats you. But if the sub is so far down that radio communication is gone and the porthole has to be sealed shut to survive the immense pressure at the bottom of the sea, then any leak would have caused the sub to instantly implode in a few milliseconds before you could even realize what happened.note This is what is believed to have happened to the occupants of the Titan submersible. But that wouldn't be near as horrifying as realizing you're about to die and there's nothing you can do about it. | |
