Shinsekai: Into the Depths

Capcom wound up introducing a brand new game at the Apple Arcade launch: a sidescrolling deep-sea exploration title with the mouthful name of Shinsekai: Into the Depths. You’re a diver plunging into the depths of the ocean, scavenging for supplies and resources. Capcom suggests the reason you’re doing this is because you’re the last human alive after another Ice Age hits, but….yikes, we hope it’s not THAT dire. Half survival game, half Metroidvania, you’ll be floating around beautifully rendered oceanography while keeping watch on your dwindling oxygen supply and keeping the other eye out for enemies. As you gather resources, you’ll be able to upgrade your gear and create new items out of what you find.
