Game Overview
=============

Sub Culture (TM) is an exhilarating PC CD-ROM 3D 
underwater action-adventure game.  
As one of the 'little guys', within the confines 
of your submarine, you must struggle to survive in 
the peril -fraught shallows.  You share these volatile 
waterways with hostile clans, the Bohine the Procha 
and the Pirates, whose age old differences have exploded 
into an embittered and blood-thirsty civil war.

Sub Culture consists of a gorgeous undersea environment 
with action packed missions and a freeform narrative 
that will entrance games players the world over.  
Delve into Sub Culture and you may never want to resurface.

Your ultimate goal: to save this world from imminent 
destruction and find the truth about the 'godlike' 
humans who have destroyed your family.



Key Elements
============

The Sub Culture world is full of neat features:
· Real time night and day as the sun passes overhead
· Real time lighting generated by the environment and your sub
· Strange and aggressive mutant creatures
· Weird and wonderful tools and weapons such as a ROV (Remotely 
Operated Vehicle) and an electro bolt
· Dynamic trading system - play at the stock market
· Physically accurate dynamic modelling of the craft and creatures
· Varied 3D seascape which includes an abyss, 
cave complexes and pipe networks 
· Stunning aquatic life roaming the seas    
· Atmospheric 3D sound effects and original music
· The detritus of human life litter the seabed: from 
see how the humans are destroying your world

Sub-Culture is a game which revolves around missions 
although there are always freeform activities and 
trading to do.  In Sub Culture you can explore a 
breathtaking underwater world which is continuously 
changing and no matter what missions are taking place 
the environment continues to live. You must trade to 
gain money, which in turn provides a means to purchase 
inventory items. 

Different missions are available from each city 
and from the Prochas and the Bohines: which ones 
you do affect how you stand with each culture. 
The missions are accompanied by a highly detailed 
and engaging narrative. The missions are numerous 
and varied: in one mission you must accompany diplomats 
on a peace mission warding off attacks from pirates; 
in another you must get a SWAT team onto a sub hijacked 
by terrorists as they go through a minefield; in all 
of them you must use your skill and judgement so allowing 
you to progress to the core mission and the next stage 
in the adventure..

As well as affecting your standing, successful completion 
of a mission provides financial reward. Once docked at a 
city, you can engage in a trading sequence although prices 
and availability of tools and weapons differ between races 
and cities, so you will need to be astute in your quest for 
the best tools at the best price.

Sub Culture consists of 27 missions divided into 4 stages. 
The first stage is a training stage, all the other stages 
have a distinct scenario which develops the storyline of 
tribal antagonism, reluctant peace and victorious alliance 
all set against a variety of mind-blowing and absorbing missions.
