 Solitude Underwater (Video Game)
comment
In 1719, a trading ship known as the Insurmountable set sail for England; its cargo hold packed with priceless treasures from India. But disaster struck midway through the journey, and the Insurmountable capsized and sank into the ocean, never to be found, while the majority of its crew were eaten by sharks.Centuries later, a pair of treasure-hunting brothers, Zane and Dominic Ryker, board a small boat and travel out to a lonely stretch of the ocean, several miles off the coast of South Africa, where they believe the Insurmountable sank. While Dominic stays behind on the boat, Zane goes underwater in search of the lost treasure of the Insurmountable.Zane steps into the shark cage, which Dominic slowly lowers into the ocean. All seems well at first, until the cords attaching the cage suddenly break, causing it to plunge into the depths. When Zane wakes back up, he's hundreds of feet underwater, with man-eating sharks swarming around the cage. With only a few tools at his disposal to protect himself with, what started as a treasure-hunting expedition soon becomes a matter of life and death...Solitude Underwater was made by Big MA16 studios, and can be downloaded for free on Steam, Itch.io and Gamejolt.

Chekhov's Gun: The shotgun. One of this game's achievements is also a direct nod to this trope: "Anton Chekhov Tips His Hat At You".

Laser Cutter: Zane brings one underwater with him to cut through the walls of the Insurmountable. He instead uses it to cut his way out of the shark cage.

Ascended Fanboy: Zane was inspired to become an adventurer after years of watching adventure movies and playing adventure video games. Dominic is less enthusiastic about this, but he goes along with it because it's often paid well.

Make It Look Like an Accident: Dominic sets up the expedition in a way that he has plausible deniability if anything went wrong, which makes sense considering that he wants Zane to die.

Sibling Team: Zane Ryker has always romanticized the idea of brotherly duo teams, which is why he talked his brother into teaming up with him in the first place. At this point in his career, Dominic doesn't share this same outlook. AT ALL.

Childish Older Sibling: Zane, the elder Ryker brother, is the type of guy who loves drinking root beer from a goblet that once belonged to Hungarian royalty and leaves ancient gold coins out where they might fall into the ocean just because he likes how they sparkle in the sunlight.

comment
The Faceless: Both brothers. Dominic's face is completely hidden by a large-brimmed hat, while Zane is mostly a Featureless Protagonist throughout the game. Near the very end of the game, there is an old photograph that Zane can find inside the boat's cockpit, which shows the Ryker brothers together years ago. Dominic's huge hat still hides his face, while Zane's face has been hatefully scratched out with a red pen.

Foreshadowing: Early on, Zane mentions that it's useful to have firearms at the ready in the event that a rival hunter is trying to steal your treasure. Unfortunately for him, it turns out that his rival ends up being his brother, who wants him dead. Zane also questions if the coordinates are right. They're not.
