KEROGEN

About this game

KEROGEN is a first-person horror mystery about a forsaken drone operator forced to investigate a sunken oil-tanker. Explore deep-sea industrial architecture, watch tensions escalate among a desperate crew, and witness a protagonist torn between two bodies. Refine your evening with this story-rich experience rendered in crunchy PSX graphics!

Can you withstand the pressure of the deep?

A SHIP DIVIDED

The 𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐒 is not what she seems. Each day the pressures grow, and each night your dreams drown you in her hull.
Don’t the corpses you are forced to dredge seem awfully familiar?

A WARPED MIND

You are Oteil, an operator who projects their mind into machines to venture underseas. With every dive, precious parts of you are lost in the transition.

A BORROWED BODY

Maeve, the ship’s machinist, maintains the drones you use to dive. Just like you, she is in over her head, but trusting her is not a choice.

A BINDING CONTRACT

Boris, the ship’s captain, will slowly bleed you dry. You must work hard for him to turn a profit, and he will make damn sure you do.

A TERRIBLE SECRET

Ayla, the ship’s analyst, knows more than she admits. Her oath prevents her from sharing the truth, but its consequences will affect you all the same.

If She is nothing but a dream, then why do you remember Her?
