comment |
Undertow is an aquatic side-scrolling adventure game developed and published by Chair Entertainment, on Xbox Arcade in 2007, featuring 15 levels over three campagins.In an alternate world, after a disaster causes the ice caps to melt, a great flood consumes the world's landmasses, and the surface survivors who adapted to live in the ocean discover they are not alone under the sea. The infamous Captain Nemo has resided there for centuries; his own faction, the Nemonians, has made a pact with the leaders of America and Great Britain to respect his sovereignty, which he increasingly believes is being infringed upon by the arrival of the "surface-men".With tensions beneath the waves bubbling up, the Iron Marines are formed to defend their people from the Nemonians and renegade pirates, both factions unaware that other, more ancient peoples, long dormant beneath the waves, are slowly reawakening to continue their war.TrailerMaking Of |

comment |
Became Their Own Antithesis: Jules laments that his father's instability, caused by his artificially prolonged life, has rendered him no different from the unjust tyrants Nemo had originally sought refuge from in the depths. |

Offing the Offspring: When Jules can no longer stand by and watch as his father, Nemo, tries to commit genocide and directly confronts him, the deranged Nemo calls upon the Nautilus in an attempt to end his child's life. |

Recruiting the Criminal: Jason Rake begins the game as a pirate, but after he's captured Admiral Lancaster presses him into fending off raiders in exchange for his life. Jason makes sure to get a fee from then on, as an official member of the Iron Marines. |

comment |
Schizo Tech: There's a lot of disparity between each faction's technological levels. The Iron Marines have relatively modern scuba gear and submarines, the Nemonians use fittingly Steampunk submarines and diving suits, and the Atlantean technology is, well, Greek helmets and magic spears. |

comment |
Grey-and-Grey Morality: None of the factions are completly innocent. For example; the Iron Marines player character, Rake, is a former pirate, the Nemonians, Jules, is the son of a misanthrope Mad Scientist, and Helena, like all the Atlanteans, possesses aspirations of world domination. |

| | Undertow Chair Entertainment (Video Game) / int_48414e75 |
comment |
The Beastmaster: Rather than use vehicles, Atlantis uses sea animals. From dialogue between some of the ancient conquerors, there's some divide over their use since the magic power at their command is greater than any beast of burden, but its overuse is also what undid their empire and sealed them in ice. |

Fish out of Temporal Water: Pun aside (due to the aquatic features on their feet and hands), the Atlanteans spent centuries under the ice before the Elect inadvertently unfroze them, and they are eager to reclaim their dominion over mankind. |

| | Undertow Chair Entertainment (Video Game) / int_50ed1af4 |
comment |
Our Demons Are Different: Turns out the Elect, (the fourth faction), who have been terrorising the oceans and are the culprits responsible for the water levels rising, are aliens. It seems that the Atlantean word for "Demons" and "Aliens" is one and the same (beings from another world), and rest of the world forgot while they where taking their icy nap. |

Treacherous Quest Giver: Admiral Lancaster quickly turns on Rake after deceiving him into raiding the Nemonians for supplies, intending to hide his betrayal of the pact with Nemo by personally killing Rake and using the ex-pirate's reputation to absolve the Iron Marines of any blame. Rake has this to say after taking out the Admiral's sub. |
