About the game

Silent Depth is a mobile 3d submarine simulation game in development. Mobile means it will be available for smartphones and tablets on almost all platforms like Android, iPhone/iPad and Windows Phone 8.

You are the captain of a US Balao Class Submarine in World War II and are positioned in the Pacific. Your base harbor is Midway where you repair and equip your submarine with torpedos, ammunition and fuel.


(screenshot taken from Samsung S3)

There will be a free patrol mode where you just drive around and attack japanese ships. That way you select your route on a map and as soon as you spot something (or get spotted!) the game switches back to 3d mode where you can attack (either with torpedos or your gun) or try to escape.
Missions will be available as well of course and a career mode. You will get awards and medals. Even though it is a single player game some kind of an online highscore list is planned.

Part of the game are realistic day/night cycles and real waves for instance. It won't be an arcade game, neither a hardcore sim (even though it will be as realistic as possible!) which would be just too much for smartphones/tablets.

Just take a look a the screenshots and some of the ingame videos. You can follow us at Facebook as well to be up to date and discuss it there or in our forums here. We're interested in all kinds of criticism and suggestions!

Planned features
  • use your US submarine to attack the Japanese ships
  • free open ended patrol and specific missions
  • a navigation map
  • day/night cycles
  • equip your submarine in your harbor
  • attack the enemy with torpedos or with the gun / air attacks
  • get awards and medals
  • share your success with other captains (list of most successful captains online)

Feel free to ask any questions, we will build up some kind of a F.A.Q. to answer all those!

Thanks for reading!

Free patrol mode. 3-D game mode. Sounds like it owes a bit to Silent Service, but with decades of improvement. I like that.

Thanks guys!

Doing a smartphone/tablet sim won't stop us from releasing a PC/Mac version of course! But it won't be that heavy as Silent Hunter.
