Floodgate

“You are expendable. You are not expected to return.”
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Floodgate is my take on remaking PRESSURE from the ground up, while putting my own spin on its world and gameplay.

It takes the basic concept and setting of PRESSURE and rebuilds it into my own game, with redesigned rooms, new and changed entities, different mechanics, new encounters, secrets, routes, and plenty of my own ideas.

Floodgate is a first-person survival horror game about making your way through a massive underwater facility after everything has gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Explore abandoned offices, containment sectors, overgrown gardens, server farms, maintenance tunnels, sewers, and whatever else the Blacksite decided was a good idea to build at the bottom of the ocean.

Unfortunately, you aren't alone down there.

And most of what's left doesn't want you leaving.

WHAT'S IN FLOODGATE?:

100 rooms spread across multiple areas of the Blacksite.

Entities with different behaviors. Running and hiding won't always be enough. Learn what you're dealing with.

Items and upgrades. Find equipment throughout the facility and improve what you already have.

Shops, optional areas, and secrets. Some are useful. Some aren't. Some you probably weren't supposed to find.

Set-piece encounters. Normal exploration is occasionally interrupted by something much, much worse.

Environmental storytelling. Perfect for anyone willing to stare at suspicious Blacksite machinery for six minutes.

Secrets without rewards. Not everything gives you an achievement. Sometimes finding something weird is the reward.

Your objective is simple:

Get the crystal.
Get out.

Probably easier said than done.

ABOUT PRESSURE:

Floodgate is an unofficial fan-made reimagining of the Roblox game PRESSURE.

The original game and its world were created by its respective developers. Floodgate is not intended to replace the original game, it's my attempt to rebuild the concept while experimenting with my own gameplay, rooms, entities, encounters, story additions, and other changes.

Floodgate is not officially affiliated with PRESSURE or its developers.|

THE SKY ABOVE US:

Floodgate also includes an optional epilogue book: The Sky Above Us.

While Floodgate follows the events inside the Blacksite, The Sky Above Us explores the characters and their lives beyond the main game through a much longer, mostly text-based story.

It's presented as an in-game book, split into volumes and chapters, with occasional illustrations throughout.

Unlike most extra content, the book is unlocked from the start. You do not need to complete Floodgate or achieve a specific ending to read it.

However:

The Sky Above Us contains major spoilers for Floodgate's story, characters, secrets, and endings.

The book assumes you've already experienced certain parts of the game and will not avoid discussing or revealing them.

(More warnings in-game)

If you care about discovering Floodgate's story naturally, I strongly recommend finishing the game and exploring its endings before reading.

The Sky Above Us isn't required to understand or complete Floodgate. It's simply more time with its characters and world for anyone who wants it.

FAQ

Q: Is Floodgate finished?
A: No.

Q: When is it coming out?
A: When it's done.

Q: Is this just PRESSURE?
A: Floodgate is based heavily on PRESSURE and intentionally recreates parts of it, but I'm also changing and adding a lot. Think of it as my own reimagining/remake rather than a completely original game.

Q: Is this official?
A: Nope. Floodgate is a fan project and isn't affiliated with the original PRESSURE developers.

Q: How long will a run take?
A: A normal successful run is expected to take around an hour, with some routes taking longer.

Q: How many endings are there?
A: More than one. 

Q: Is there replayability?
A: Yes. Different routes, achivements, optional content, upgrades, and post-game modifiers give you reasons to return to the Blacksite.

Q: What is "The Sky Above Us"?
A: It's an optional in-game  book about Floodgate's characters and what happens beyond the true ending. It's available from the start, but it contains major spoilers for the game and its endings, so I'd recommend playing Floodgate first. “It's simply more time with its characters and world for anyone who wants it.” That's basically the reason the book exists. It isn't Floodgate 2 secretly hiding in a menu, and the player isn't missing gameplay rewards by ignoring it. It's the enormous “okay but what happened to these idiots afterward?” button.

Q: Are there captions?
A: No sorry.

Q: Who is Chip?
A: Chip.
