If that looks like a boggy version of a clicker off The last of usyou’re not far away. Housemarque, the studio behind it Returns, was inspired by the depths of the sea – a source of the unknown that may harbor more horror than anything else in the universe, including space

“There is something inherently troubling and strange about the deep sea as an environment for us,” Harry Kreuger, Returnscreative director, wrote in a blog post, echoing thoughts shared by every human on the planet who has considered it we have only explored 5 percent of the ocean

Returns not only contains nightmares from the deep. As a player character Selene, you also fight scratching with mini Sarlacc mouths:
