Core Concept

Nuclear Submarine simulator from a first person 3D perspective.
Move around the inside similar to the cyclops from Subnautica but with significantly less visibility to the outside.
The exterior level is entirely separate from the ship interior (see Iron Lung.)
- It is rendered via a view screen with limited vision and a sonar capable of indicating the locations of new materials.
There should be a slow build of tension with no major scares in the first few in game days followed by the gradual introduction of threats.
Objects and creatures discovered in the exterior can be brought into the sub to be researched and harvested.
- However, with limited visibility you may be unable to determine how dangerous they are (think of the alien hiding in your cargo in Scavenger SV-4.)
- Alternatively some blind analysis of the specimen collected would be more reminiscent of Carbon Steel. You're actively in danger but must perform tests.
There will be a repair drone to be (manually at first but later automatically) operated outside the vessel in order to repair and upgrade the submarine exterior as well as collect scrap from hard-to-reach areas.
