Path Games and Selecta Play have announced that Dark Mass — a first-person psychological horror game set entirely underwater — will receive a physical release on PlayStation 5 in both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition. A new trailer released alongside the announcement showcases the physical editions and offers a deeper look at Alice’s descent into a sunken manor beneath the ocean floor.
The game follows Alice, a deep-sea explorer who sets out with her brother Reed to investigate the remains of an ancient shipwreck uncovered by a seismic event. Beneath the wreck lies something far more disturbing: a sunken manor, strangely preserved despite centuries of submersion. What begins as an expedition becomes a fight for survival — trapped in the depths, stalked by something ancient, navigating flooded halls and ritual puzzles to uncover what should have stayed buried. The digital version is available on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Fully Underwater Horror
The entire game takes place underwater — movement affected by deep-sea pressure, limited visibility, vertical exploration, and the oppressive silence of the abyss. Horror through environment and isolation.
◆
Walkie-Talkie Communication System
Communicate with brother Reed through a fully voiced walkie-talkie as you explore — the one fragile human connection holding the horror at bay.
◆
Disturbing Ritual Puzzles
Solve puzzles inspired by historical inquisitorial tortures, unlocking the sunken manor’s darkest buried secrets.
◆
Silas — A Relentless Presence
A monstrous entity bound to the manor for centuries stalks Alice through the flooded halls. Evade Silas or be consumed by the darkness it inhabits.
◆
Multiple Endings
Alice’s choices shape how her story concludes — decisions made in the depths carry consequences that determine the final outcome.
