Descend. Discover. Survive.
CHROMATIDE is a first-person paranormal adventure set inside CHARYBDIS, a brutalist underwater station operated by the secretive OCCTech corporation. As an Emotionmateria Technician, you maintain impossible machines, follow cryptic procedures, and uncover the truth behind an experiment that should never have happened.
When an OCCTech experiment triggers a full emergency lockdown, something is released into CHARYBDIS: Paranormal entities now roam the station. You will need to adapt to them, find alternative routes or... face the entities head on. 
Interact with the world through physical gestures instead of simple button presses. Turn valves, operate machinery, move objects, and manipulate the station by recreating the motions yourself with your mouse or controller stick.
CHARYBDIS is dangerous, but not every threat must be fought. Search for alternate routes, use the environment, and decide when to avoid, confront, or use your surreal powers in combat.
Explore a world of forbidden experiments and surreal architecture:
Collect secrets, recover strange artifacts, and bring them back to ROOM 15 - an extradimensional safe space that shifts between realities.
Nothing in CHARYBDIS is what it seems: not your profession, not OCCTech’s mission, and not the powers granted by the mysterious Ammonite.
Use abilities like Force Push to fight, solve puzzles, and break parts of the environment as you descend deeper into the station’s secrets.
Features:
A cinematic first-person adventure set inside a brutalist underwater station.
Handcrafted environments rich with detail and many mysteries to explore.
The choice is yours: use stealth, alternative routes or engage in supernatural combat.
Metroidvania-inspired progression: revisit areas with new tools and powers.
Original soundtrack composed for CHROMATIDE.
Experience an oppressive atmosphere of deep-sea isolation, surreal horror and reality coming apart.
CHROMATIDE. The debut title from LEVEL BLUE, a solo developer studio based in Berlin. Coming in 2027.

Everyone - a big thank you!When I started this journey last year, I was honestly afraid of the moment I’d finally go live on Steam. What if people didn’t connect with CHROMATIDE? What if the strange vision I’m trying to create didn’t land?But 24 hours after pressing the big green button, you proved me wrong. CHROMATIDE passed 1,000 wishlists in its first day - and we’re already getting close to 2,000.Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This means more than I can properly put into words.Sincerely, Raphael OCCTECH-mandated marketing addendum:If you know someone who enjoys weird science, occult rituals, and Lovecraftian cosmic horror, sharing the Steam page helps a lot!

CHROMATIDE can be wishlisted now!
CHROMATIDE - Descend. Discover. Survive.Hi! I’m Raphael, and I’m incredibly happy to finally share my solo game project CHROMATIDE with you all!Since 2025, I’ve been able to work on the game full-time thanks to the PRESS START funding grant. You can find more information about the program here:https://games-stipendium.deCHROMATIDE is built around what I love most about games: atmosphere, exploration, narrative, and worldbuilding. It is a first-person adventure set deep below the surface, inside a surreal underwater station shaped by brutalist architecture, paranormal creatures, and a mystery waiting to be uncovered.I’m currently aiming for a release in 2027, however, there is one thing I need to state:I am working solo on CHROMATIDE.That means that things may still shift as development continues- but that is also why I want to build this game closely with the community. A demo is still some time away, but I’ll soon share more information about Discord, future updates, and playtesting opportunities. So stay tuned!Though I am working solo, I have a few helping hands especially in music and 3D art from time to time. I will share their contacts in a future update.And to everyone who played LEVIATHAN - now CHROMATIDE - during Games Ground 2025 or Baltic Game Fest 2026:Thank you so, so much!Your feedback, encouragement, and excitement helped shape the path this project is now on. I still remember so many of your reactions, your thoughts, and your kind words - and they keep pushing me to make CHROMATIDE the best it can be.That’s it for now. I’ll soon share more about the world of CHROMATIDE, OCCTECH, and the paranormal happenings deep below.See you soon!Raphael
