HORROR STORIES

Real player experiences and terrifying encounters from the depths of Dead Reset

💀

The First Encounter

"I was exploring the medical wing when I heard it - a sound that still haunts my dreams. The creature was right behind me, but I couldn't see it. The oxygen was running low, and I had to make a choice: run or fight. I chose to run, but I'll never forget the sound of its footsteps getting closer..."

- Survivor_Alpha
🌊

Underwater Nightmare

"The facility started flooding. Water was everywhere, and I could hear the structure groaning under the pressure. I had to solve a medical puzzle while water rose around me. One wrong move and I would drown. The tension was unbearable - I've never felt so claustrophobic in a game before."

- DeepDiver99
🧩

The Surgical Puzzle

"I'm a real doctor, so I thought the medical puzzles would be easy. I was wrong. The game made me question everything I know about anatomy. When I finally solved the heart surgery puzzle, I realized I had been holding my breath for 5 minutes straight. This game is psychologically intense."

- Dr_Surgeon
👥

Cole's Descent

SURVIVAL TIPS

Master these essential survival techniques to increase your chances of escaping the underwater nightmare

💡

Conserve Oxygen

Move slowly and deliberately. Rapid movement consumes more oxygen. Plan your routes carefully to minimize backtracking and unnecessary exploration.

🔧

Repair Systems

Always check and repair life support systems first. A functioning oxygen system is more important than finding medical supplies.

🏥

Medical Priority

Treat critical injuries immediately. A minor wound can become life-threatening in the harsh underwater environment.

👂

Listen Carefully

Sound travels differently underwater. Use audio cues to detect threats and locate important areas before they become visible.

🧠

Stay Calm

Panic is your worst enemy. Take deep breaths, assess the situation, and make rational decisions. Your medical training will guide you.

📝

Document Everything

Keep notes on creature behavior, puzzle solutions, and resource locations. Information is as valuable as medical supplies.
