Press notes

Overview

A Tale of Silent Depths is a tactical RPG where players command an Ark in a drowned world, balancing open-ocean exploration, survival logistics, and high-stakes turn-based combat. The game combines exploratory tension and tactical planning, with each run shaped by route decisions, resource pressure, and faction relationships.

Key points for coverage

  • Procedurally generated ocean routes that create unique expedition stories each run.
  • Tactical combat centered on drones, positioning, and risk assessment under pressure.
  • Roguelike progression with flexible build paths and strong long-term mastery loops.
  • Lore-first worldbuilding tied to factions, ruins, anomalies, and environmental collapse.

Editorial angles

  • A Brazilian indie RPG using deep-sea dread as a systemic gameplay pillar, not just visual theme.
  • Strong hook for tactical RPG audiences looking for replayability beyond static campaign maps.
  • Clear talking point around player expression: trading, scavenging, piracy, diplomacy, and survival priorities.
