About

Halley’s Bell is a suspenseful experience for your eyes only. As The Halley Company’s newest Bell Operator, sit n’ survive your descent into a chasm of unknown wonders— hopefully, some of those wonders aren’t trying to get you!

Features

  • Maintain your bell – Complete tasks around the vessel to survive your descent

  • Not as it seems – Uncover the secrets surrounding the company as you play

  • Keep your ears peeled – Atmosphere and tension primarily created through audio design

  • Bite-sized – A short experience designed to be finished in under an hour

The Gameplay

Stepping aboard an outdated, one-room diving bell, you quickly find that some tender love and care is in order to reach the ocean floor in one piece. Keith, the company’s self-proclaimed “Radio Guy,” is along for the ride. Guiding you, chiding you— what isn’t he doing, really?

Still, there’s a fair bit of downtime, isn’t there? You can only be alone with your thoughts for so long. Inspect your surroundings as the depth meter climbs, and you just might kick up dirt that you weren’t meant to.

The Story

Not much is known about Project Halley’s Bell, The Halley Company’s deep-sea exploration initiative. But, hey. Times are tight. Buoyed by the prospect of a promotion, you sign on… only to discover that there’s more to this aquatic deep dive than meets the eye.
