As the search for a missing submersible touring the site of the century-old Titanic wreckage both captivates and horrifies the world, an indie developer is disturbed by a recent sales surge of his submarine-based horror game, Iron Lung.
On Sunday, the OceanGate Titan watercraft carrying five passengers left its support vessel to travel down about 12,500 feet (roughly 2.5 miles) to the ocean floor where the Titanic rests. The Titan's surface ship lost contact with the submersible about an hour and 45 minutes later, and a sweeping rescue operation has been underway since. The Titan is equipped with a four-day emergency oxygen supply, which is dwindling quickly as search and rescuers struggle to locate the vessel despite recently hearing sounds indicative of human life in the area it was last seen.
