Overview
Deep Down (working title) is an action role-playing video game developed and published by Capcom. It was announced for PlayStation 4 in 2013, but entered development hell and, despite being near completion, was not released. It is regarded as vaporware, although not officially cancelled. A science fantasy game with cooperative multiplayer elements, it takes place in far-future New York City, and players are teleported back in time by touching magical artifacts.
Gameplay
Deep Down is a single-player or (up to four player) co-op multiplayer dungeon crawl. Gameplay has been described as similar to Capcom's own Dragon's Dogma. The historical sections of the game take place in a medieval/fantasy setting in procedurally generated dungeons, with the player equipped with suits of armor, swords, pikes, shields etc. Creatures encountered are from the fantasy trope, including ogres, shapeshifters similar to mimics (D&D), and dragons.
Plot
The player perspective for Deep Down begins in New York City in the year 2094. The story focuses on a member of a group known as the "Ravens" who has the ability to recover historical memories by touching ancient objects. This 'Raven' is brought into contact with excavated objects from a mysterious civilization in Bohemia (Czech Republic) dating from the 15th century and are asked to use their abilities to explore the city and discover its secrets.
