The submarine Titan, which plunged into the Atlantic Ocean on June 19 to go to the wreckage of the Titanic, was tragically lost. After the chilling event, the submarine survival-themed Iron Lung game is on the rise on Steam.The submarine owned by the company OceanGate Expeditions was carrying five people: the founder of the company, Stockton Rush, the French deep-sea explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, the British billionaire Hamish Harding, the Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleiman.
“It’s terrifying that the game has come true”
David Szymanski, who developed the independent horror game Iron Lung, announced that as of June 19, there was a huge explosion in the sales of his game. In Iron Lung, you fight for survival by controlling a small submarine.
The developer says that in the game based on fear, claustrophobia and paranoia, he tries to reflect the most terrifying situation a person can find himself in. For Szymanski, it’s appalling that real people find themselves in a situation similar to the one in his game.
Szymanski shared a screenshot showing the statistics of the game, whose popularity has increased several times in recent days, on his personal social media account. The developer said that people were making jokes about the situation, but that no one deserved to die that way.
