Submerged: Miku and the Sunken City is a post-apocalyptic Environmental Narrative Game by Uppercut Games, which takes many cues from Shadow of the Colossus.Miku and her badly-injured younger brother Taku drift into a half-drowned city in their small motorboat. Leaving Taku resting at the base of a decaying clock tower, she sets off to find supplies to care for him. All under the scrutiny of the strange, plant-like inhabitants that seem to have designs on them.Completely lacking any combat, gameplay consists of exploring the waterlogged city, searching for buildings to climb. Each building is something of a maze, with you having to figure out a path along the precarious ledges, hanging vines and other climbable surfaces to reach supplies, as well as pictographs that tell the story of the ruined city.A sequel, Submerged: Hidden Depths, was released in April of 2022. Now Miku and Taku take the boat together to save the city from the Black Plant, the evil version of the Mass that had appeared in the previous game.Available for iOs, Steam, Xbox One and Playstation 4. | |

Transflormation: Miku and Taku discover stationary human-like figures shaped from plant matter scattered all over the city. Miku surmises these are its former inhabitants, transformed by the Mass. At the climax, the fearsome Big Man monster changes into a gigantic and unmoving tree. | |

Disappears into Light | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_24d85d41 | comment |
Disappears into Light: Those collectible Planimals which inhabit the buildings of Hidden Depths do this when they retreat from Miku, dispersing into clouds of drifting sparks. Groups of collectible sea Planimals (dolphins, pelicans, etc.) also disperse as speck-clouds if they collide with objects such as the boat; in their case, the specks are dark, probably to make them visible against the sunlit water. | |

Surprisingly Happy Ending | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_25b4ad2f | comment |
Surprisingly Happy Ending: Over the course of the first game, Miku gets increasingly infested with the algae while the city inhabitants watch. The impression is that she's either dying or turning into one of them. At the end the inhabitants gather around her and somehow draw the algae out of her, and she and her much-recovered brother leave in their boat. The sequel implies a darker ending is coming also, between the siblings' growing disagreement about Miku's mission and the giant, menacing Big Man monster. But it ends with the Big Man's unquiet soul reconciled with the Mass, and Taku willingly risking himself to see Miku's task completed. | |

Spiritual Successor: The influences of Shadow of the Colossus are rather blatant. You're climbing buildings instead of stone giants, but it's the same puzzle-y gameplay of trying to figure out the correct route, you're trying to save someone you care about, and becoming corrupted while doing so. | |

Ghost Town: Not only are both games set in Ghost City ruins After the End, but the city from Hidden Depths had been reclaimed by survivors and built up into a thriving settlement, only to be deserted again after the inhabitants enraged the Mass. This second abandonment must have been very recent, to judge by the spoiled-yet-intact fish hung out to dry at numerous outposts. | |

Submerged (Video Game) / int_3c5ae1a1 | comment |
Schizo Tech: Justified by the After the End setting. Miku's family has a motor boat, but survives by spear-fishing. It's not clear where the fuel for the engine is coming from, though. The former settlers of the second game's city had jury-rigged a means of powering up salvaged pre-flood electronics using stolen Seeds from the Mass. They don't seem to have benefited from doing so, but kept trying at the Big Man's urging. | |

Scavenger World: The main quest of the first game is to collect emergency supplies from the top of buildings that were probably dropped there when the city went underwater. In Hidden Depths, the second city was heavily built upon by post-flood seafaring scavengers, using a blend of this trope and Bamboo Technology. Taku hauls collectible relics from underwater as well. | |

How We Got Here | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_80251be3 | comment |
How We Got Here: As you find supplies, the first game reveals the sad story of how Miku and Taku fled their home and wound up in the Sunken City. The second reveals their wanderings between games, bit by bit as the Seeds are retrieved and returned. | |

Intelligent Forest | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_8be4b62f | comment |
Intelligent Forest: The Mass is an underwater variant: an apparently self-aware network of vegetative tendrils that rose from the seabed, in the wake of the global flood. Its massive growth entwines the city from Hidden Depths. Smaller outgrowths make an early appearance in a post-main-quest patch expansion to Sunken City. | |

Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_8d6c8737 | comment |
Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence: The game has a predefined playing area, meaning you cannot go where you are not supposed to go, even if logically you should be able to. You can climb obstacles higher than yourself, but you cannot pass a waist-height obstacle if the game designers didn't think you should go there. | |

Cargo Cult | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_8f746311 | comment |
Cargo Cult: Prior residents of the city made a practice of gathering old electronics from pre-flood days and arranging them in piles like shrines, sometimes with decorative adornments. | |

Botanical Abomination | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_93489cfd | comment |
Botanical Abomination: The Big Man, the usurper who'd convinced the second city's residents to exploit its Seeds for electricity, was seized by the Mass and remade as a gigantic, frightening humanoid of twisted Black Plant tendrils. Partway through the main quest, it rises from the depths to wade its way around the city, stopping to watch Miku's progress ominously with each subsequent Seed she retrieves. | |

Big Bad | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: In the backstory of the city, the Big Man convinces the city's inhabitants to exploit the Seeds to power the shiny but ultimately useless machines. While eventually he realizes that what he'd done was wrong, it's too late and the city is taken by the Black Plant. By the time the game takes place, the Big Man becomes a huge and actively malicious monster that is a threat to Miku. | |

Taking the Bullet | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_9ce6492a | comment |
Taking the Bullet: Well, the spear, in this case. In the backstory, Miku tried to break her father out of his funk by taking away his booze. He grabbed his fishing spear and tried to stab her, and Taku intervened and ended up with his belly sliced open, followed by Miku grabbing him and heading off in the family boat. | |

Submerged (Video Game) / int_ac0f4761 | comment |
Future Imperfect: Miku has no idea what many of the cities' decrepit landmarks originally were, so the brief animations as she sights each one give them names appropriate to what she does know (e.g. the protruding upper portions of a suspension bridge are called "the Silver Pass"). | |

Friendly, Playful Dolphin: Pods of dolphins occasionally pass Miku's boat, splashing about and whistling cheerily to one another. More prominent in the first game, but also happens in Hidden Depths. | |

The Corruption | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_cf168867 | comment |
The Corruption: As Miku progresses, she develops a worrying cough, and her skin begins turning green-and-grey like Sunken City's inhabitants. In fact, it almost seems as though she is being overgrown with algae (and if you look closely, the same can be seen happening to her boat). This same condition also afflicts much of the marine wildlife. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The game adds fast travel option, as well as more detailed information on how much of the collectibles you'd collected from the main attractions. Taku, venturing onto the smaller outposts, can always find a one-way shortcut back to the boat. There are also lookout towers which reveal the position of nearby collectibles. Justified as the map is larger and has much more collectibles than the previous one. | |

Language Drift | |
Submerged (Video Game) / int_eb88956c | comment |
Language Drift: Miku in Sunken City is almost a Heroic Mime, but the few voice lines she does say (mostly after delivering supplies back to the home point) indicate this trope is in effect; if you listen closely, you can pick out a few words clearly derived from English. It's easier to tell the siblings are speaking a pidgin form of English in Hidden Depths, mostly because they have each other to talk to, so say a lot more. | |
