Voidcaller

In the desolate expanse of deep space, a deep-sea research vessel's AI unexpectedly awakens a dormant, ancient entity from the ocean's abyss. As the entity's influence spreads, the crew finds their perceptions of reality fracturing, forcing them to confront not only an extraterrestrial horror but also the terrifying manifestations within their own minds. With dwindling resources and escalating paranoia, they must find a way to sever the connection before the entity consumes them and breaches the confines of their vessel.
