The most relevant news of the last few hours is the extremely complicated situation that the Titan submarine crew belonging to the company OceanGate Expeditions. The exploration mission of the Titanic several kilometers deep has generated a critical situation when the trace of the device is lost, so the search efforts continue to find its whereabouts.
While, Iron Lung It has experienced a sales upturn since the event took place, as reported by PC Gamer. The unknown indie of Steam has come to triple the number of users who have purchased the game, as revealed by the graph shown by the creator David Szymanski.
this is so wrong
If we go to SteamDB we can verify that of the 10 average daily users for the work in the most recent weeks, the 100 barrier has now been exceeded. The proposal of its developer, creator of the popular DUSK, is to sail with a one-person submarine that responds to the name of Iron Lung. We will have to do it practically blind, since the journey runs through an ocean of blood and we barely have proximity sensors and an incomplete map.
We are talking about a game that can be finished in less than an hour and in that stretch of time it aims to create sensations such as paranoia and fear with good touches of terror. Szymanski has understood that the sudden increase in popularity is directly related to what is happening with Titan and has commented on it:
I definitely see the dark humor in this whole Titanic submarine thing, it’s just… I kind of made Iron Lung the most nightmarish thing I could think of, and knowing that real people are in that situation right now is pretty horrible, even if they were their own bad decisions. Just like all the jokes I’ve been seeing are hilarious, but also, oh my gosh, no one should have to die like this.
The most recent Steam reviews support the thesis, mentioning the unfortunate incident of Titan as the main reason for the purchase of Iron Lung. The last thing we have been able to know about its possible situation is the capture of sounds underwater similar to blows.
