You will be transported by helicopter to the diving area at 16:35 on next 05/07. Act with caution: the possibility of industrial sabotage is not ruled out.. As you know, this whole matter is of the utmost confidentiality. We trust in your discretion and expertise.

THE GAME

Mutants From The Deep is designed for a single player, but you can choose between two characters at the start of the game. When the game begins, you will have to dive into the sea and fight your way through with your automatic harpoon. Depending on the creatures or items you destroy, you can find weapons, oxygen, health or coins to use in the shop. Here is a description of these objects:
