    Deep in the abyss where ancient creatures lurk, a motley crew must unite onboard the S.S. Thresher submarine to explore the abandoned Rán Boer station resting in the ocean’s unforgiving depths. Battling claustrophobia, paranoia, lurking behemoths, and hidden horrors, only one thing is certain; from the deep, power rises...

Absolutely superb entertainment

I have been roleplaying for almost 40 years and this is almost as fun as being in the gameplay yourself.
Matt is an absolute wizard with NPC characterisations. How he keeps track of accents and personalities is beyond me.
