I originally thought that when the window closes, the outside stops existing, and the photos are just 3d renders of what is "happening outside", it's incredible how the dev went all out in creating an entire 3d landscape just for us to only see it in pictures
What did you expect them to do, have preset images for the camera? People would notice almost immediately, it wouldn't be very believable. If anything, modeling the entire environment was the quickest and smartest way to handle the camera.
They did make an entire landscape, but the sub is not in it. It’s way out in the void of the workplace ( map ) and the buttons control a tiny camera inside of the model ocean they made. So when you get a photo, it’s what the camera sees. Not what’s right outside the sub. Though it feels that way obviously by game design.
Man Iron Lung is such an amazing game. Hands down one of the best horror games ever; perfectly utilizing the medium’s ability to really put you in it’s world. Only nitpick I have is the creature design; which just looks like a scary fish. Because of the premise of the story (the wholw “blood ocean” stuff and all), I expected something more uncanny & unexplainable. Like maybe a creature that looks like it’s smiling, or has human-like teeth, or something like that.
While the game is... fine... I wouldn't say it's it's BEST horror game ever. The game gets repetitive, there's not a lot of replayability, there aren't that many scary events (and the ones that are there are highly scripted), and the ending is kinda abrupt and unsatisfying. If a sequel answered some of these problems and expanded more on the "blood Ocean exploration" aspect I see a lot of potential
I'm pretty new to the horror game segment, so from all the games I've played, Iron Lung is probably the best scary game as far as I'm concerned lol Just knowing that the threat you see in the camera is actually centimeters from you, with only this metal wall of a sub seperating you from it, you are entirely vunerable to it, cannot see it, and the photo was taken seconds ago, so it could be anywhere now. That gets me big time lol There's definitively not much replayability, but that's kinda why I made the mod, for a second playthrough for exploring what else there is to see, once you've been adequately spooked
For me, the whole monster looking like an angler fish works perfectly. If it were something outlandish, or like you said, looks like it's smiling or had human-like teeth, that would pull me out of the experience, as that would make me feel like that planet was made for the player in some out-of-universe way. The monster looking like a large Earth angler fish gives me the feeling the universe doesn't care. That you're insignificant on yet another planet.
The main problem with this mod, is that you have to look down to push the buttons and you can't really SEE the window while the sub is moving other than a little bit after you let off the button and hurry up and look up. A mod to let you use the arrow keys to move the sub would have worked wonders here.
In a way that could actually add to the scare factor, looking down to move, something moves in front of the window, and you look up to see it and boom it’s gone. It’d get so many ppl riled up I imagine
The problem is, one of the main points of atmosphere in the game is that you’re not controlling the submarine, you’re controlling a _person_ controlling it. It feels different because it envelops you more into the experience of actually having to manually move the ship.
This mod actually only changes the window being open, besides that the ocean is actually already physically there in this form but it just cannot be seen by the player
Ugh no. Watch some out of bounds videos. As a, former creator of games myself I can say that making either submarine moving or environment around it it's literally worst imaginable idea for indie game. Basically you move the camera not the iron lung itself. Even if you remove window without camera manipulation and etc(like this mod did) you'll just see green "fog" Of the "water"
I'd love to see it fleshed out through other games, but I hope it doesn't go too overboard. I want to feel like there are mysteries that we shouldn't solve, mysteries that let the imagination run wild!
Even without the FOV restrictions and the fuzzy photo filter, this game and the environment makes you feel so uneasy. All from a paragraph or two of preamble. Bravo to the developer. Are you listening, AAA industry? Take notes!
I think the problem with the AAA "industry" is that they hire story writers not game devs, which leads to what is essentially a minimally interactive movie, following someone else with an on-rails pacing, rather than a fully interactive experience that makes the player feel like they *are* the protagonist.

@@eduardolindner9333 i mean you literally just look up “iron lung” and it’s like the 4th one down. It’s even before this video. But here; ua-cam.com/video/QhGOrIjgD7E/v-deo.html
The stars are dying, the humans on the spaceship are the only ones left, sailing the ever more dimming cosmos. They found an alien moon covered in a sea of blood and they send a convict to check it out and they can't be bothered to provide a good submarine for him due to "lack of resources."
Unfortunately it's not, the interior is the only model If you check out some of the far better videos on this game where they use the unity editor and take the camera outside the sub, you can see there's nothing there
@@RUNDEN_ that’s not entirely true, the actual map is modeled but you have to use mods I think and make visible to see it, but it’s far out from the sub.
Oh I thought you meant the hull of the submarine itself .. Wait so Huh?? Of course the outside exists ..thats what you're looking at in the whole video
@@RUNDEN_ no I mean you know on the pictures? Which the walls and stuff? The map for that is modeled and is the same as the map you use for your current location with coordinates. It’s just invisible if you use mods to fly out the sub, and it’s far away from the sub.
This is some much more interesting programming then I think most people realize. The submarine actually never moves throughout the entire game, and it doesn't need to given that through the lens of the camera you can only see still images, keeping the illusion of movement airtight. I assume you used something like a render texture taken from a camera that moves in the faraway environment corresponding to the quote on quote "coordinates" of the submarine?
It's actually something that even much more high-budget games do. Because simulating physics reliably in a moving body is quite difficult, and if it doesn't have any effect on the gameplay, might as well do a workaround. Right of the top of my head, Warframe does this with the Railjack spaceships.There is an actual spaceship floating through space, but the interior of the ship is separate static instance with "screens" for windows.
It's pretty interesting considering that the game originally doesn't have anything around you actually there and the whole time you're just piloting a camera and taking the pictures, having the triggers activated by this camera to make them affect the ship back out of bounds
Since the last fish is just a flat image and you can push through it, and you showed that it doesn’t appear if you’re pointed to the west, does that mean you can take the last picture without triggering the jump scare?
If you mean the jump scare of the eye appearing on the screen and making the blood rise, then yeah! You can completely avoid that, you'll just have the right side sensor beeping like crazy permanently, and won't be able to take photos facing the right lol The ending hull intrusion will still happen before you take the last photo tho
Wow,it's awsome! Thanks for your effort! I love little games like this. It seems pretty simple and easy. But in-game.. Its not. Also,this actually makes the game more creepy,like something can jump to your camera at any point. Like,knowing you're on a blood ocean. The requirements for the game are low. Game looks pretty old. But the feeling it gives is actually something i didn't really get from any other horror game. Thanks for the mod again!
Heh yeah it can become more scary, but in different ways I think not being able to see what's lurking only centimetres away from you through these thin metal walls, being trapped in this tiny capsule not able to know what horrors are around you is its own kind of fear Being able to see makes it more of that traditional type of fear , like fear of the dark / fear of the unknown But yeah it is certainly still scary! Glad you enjoy the mod :)
This is interesting because I saw a video running through how this game works and technically the sub is located in a void outside the map, not physically in the world as you move around, so seeing it work like this is so cool
@@RUNDEN_ I was sure that there are at least a couple of mods where the textures are replaced with memes or something like that, but even they are not there, so the value of this mod increases
@@Ебанаторий there's really good videos on UA-cam (much better then this one lol) showing people modding the game and doing awesome stuff like adding a beans ocean lol but from what I can see these mods aren't released anywhere and used only for the videos
Interesting how putting the screen to the side could actually be a deliberate choice to disorient the player. With no other visual reference point some might start to treat the screen as a window, at least i did. Now that i saw how the view outside the front window and the image on the screen is the same, it makes sense to put the camera on the sub's nose and not its side. But i never thought of that...
Yeah that's an interesting thought, I was thinking it was to make it more scary - you could press the button to see what's in front of the sub, while having to look away from the front of the sub You then see a threat in the photo, and then turn back to the front, where what's on the screen is just inches away through the metal
That's a very good point! That would make sense, though in practice it just doesn't look quite right The rocks and details are what becomes red, not the dark expanse of actual blood - I'm not sure, but it didn't look good to me. And anyway, the camera seems to be able to take photos outside the sub in what I had thought would be a congealed opaque liquid lel
@@RUNDEN_ I'm not a modder so I'm completely ignorant when it comes to this stuff; I just felt a need to point it out under the impression in which it would've been easy.
@@doctoramelioration7971 Sorry I didn't mean to give the impression that it's hard necessarily, more so that it just doesn't look right, or satisfying when the outside view is tinted red Maybe a videographer with better photography skills or whatever it is would know the right artistic balance, but I tried several different tints and tint methods on the image to give that red blood look, none of which gave particularly good results. I just thought that since the submarines camera seems to take photos without any red tint too, that it probably is best to leave it as is - perhaps being submersed in blood under significant depth drowns the colour out of the blood if it were real anyway lol
@@tricksor6589 Oh, it's not a technical issue with doing it, I was able to tint the rendertexture and such, it was just that I couldn't get it to easily look the way I hoped it would, it just looks like a black and white image that's been tinted red, rather than a photo from a blood ocean
in my opinion, this mod absolutely destroys the whole atmosphere of the game. Now this is not a horror about thalassaphobia, but just an ordinary game. But it's still an interesting mod.
It's just *a project for funsies. You can always play the original game but for those who want to explore the world in real time, they can use this mod. Edit: Correction is marked with an asterisk.
How I believe this works (correct me if I'm wrong) is that the iron lung you play in is in the void, while the 3d environment you take pictures of is fully modeled out, with the camera being separate from the sub itself. For this mod, all it does is it puts a screen of the camera's view in front of the porthole, giving the illusion of moving through the actual game world
The thing is, you shouldn't be able to see the world outside the window because the submarine isn't inside the world. The submarine isn't going anywhere, let alone on the map. You're actually controlling the camera as you navigate using the control panel. So props to the modders for pulling this off.
Sorry about that, I originally recorded this with my voice, but I ended up removing the audio track because horrible voice lol, so I replaced it with text that only showed as I was saying it, which doesn't really work for when trying to read it. I'll do my best to not screw the text up so bad in the next video haha
thanks to the cool mod, I've been having fun and at the same time I've tested my English skills, maybe when I play the original game I'll download this mod too

@@RUNDEN_ actually Stars and Terrestrial Planets were mentioned, the only living humans were on stations and ships orbiting a celestial body, without a home they can't get recources, so they try to go into a rouge Terrestrial moon. This moon has an atmosphere and a bloody sea, it is rouge due to its 'star' disappearing from the quiet rupture sending it out into the universe out of orbit. The interest of them exploring the bloody ocean is for the fact that it's BLOOD and can only be formed by a living life form, with it being an ocean you'd expect trillions of living creatures died there.
I haven't read it but hearing descriptions of _I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream_ gave off similar vibes; that one's about a cruel all-powerful artificial intelligence who becomes the apocalypse killing all life except for 6 prisoners, which it keeps alive solely to torment as avatars of the crimes of humanity. Different theme, but similar "all the worst has already become true before the story even started" format and bleakness, from what I hear.
David should have added a secret code to Iron Lung where if, somebody tries to open the window and play with it, the submarine starts taking blood and you drown.. would have been a very cool dev easter egg
Can you perhaps add a red tint to the window because you are in a blood ocean. I think everything is grey just because it makes the pictures look greyscale
Honestly would be such a cool premise The idea that the whole universe is gone and there's just nothing out there all that remains lighting us up is the ghost light from planets and stars which no longer exist
If the creator made the entire map and has the objects that we do fotos in a high-quality 3d, why aren't they used? The photos are a texture of the object in low quality

Map marker for the sub seems a bad change, as it breaks the immersion of you don't exactly know where you are, opening the window is fine as everywhere is basically the same. Would be cool if there's a option to disable the sub marker

@@Ебанаторий there's really good videos on UA-cam (much better then this one lol) showing people modding the game and doing awesome stuff like adding a beans ocean lol
but from what I can see these mods aren't released anywhere and used only for the videos
Imagine this as a VR game.
That'd be even more terrifying somehow !
@@RUNDEN_ SPECIALLY THE ENDING
5:05 I think that these are pipes and you hear something moving inside
This feels more like an Update to the game than a Mod which is pretty good
Imagine that creature chasing you while you can clearly see him getting closer and closer.
So many attraction behind this game began
This games scares me even with this mod still
it's just the feeling of isolation, the lack of most sound. It's like sensory deprivation in a way.
Interesting how putting the screen to the side could actually be a deliberate choice to disorient the player. With no other visual reference point some might start to treat the screen as a window, at least i did. Now that i saw how the view outside the front window and the image on the screen is the same, it makes sense to put the camera on the sub's nose and not its side. But i never thought of that...
Yeah that's an interesting thought, I was thinking it was to make it more scary - you could press the button to see what's in front of the sub, while having to look away from the front of the sub
You then see a threat in the photo, and then turn back to the front, where what's on the screen is just inches away through the metal
Gives the feeling that we are on the moon.
The exterior view should've been given a red tint. It's an ocean made of blood....
That's a very good point! That would make sense, though in practice it just doesn't look quite right
The rocks and details are what becomes red, not the dark expanse of actual blood - I'm not sure, but it didn't look good to me.
And anyway, the camera seems to be able to take photos outside the sub in what I had thought would be a congealed opaque liquid lel
@@RUNDEN_
I'm not a modder so I'm completely ignorant when it comes to this stuff; I just felt a need to point it out under the impression in which it would've been easy.
@@doctoramelioration7971 Sorry I didn't mean to give the impression that it's hard necessarily, more so that it just doesn't look right, or satisfying when the outside view is tinted red
Maybe a videographer with better photography skills or whatever it is would know the right artistic balance, but I tried several different tints and tint methods on the image to give that red blood look, none of which gave particularly good results. I just thought that since the submarines camera seems to take photos without any red tint too, that it probably is best to leave it as is - perhaps being submersed in blood under significant depth drowns the colour out of the blood if it were real anyway lol
@@RUNDEN_ what about adding a semi transparent red wall between the outside and the port hole, like the eye monster thing that gets anchored to you
@@tricksor6589 Oh, it's not a technical issue with doing it, I was able to tint the rendertexture and such, it was just that I couldn't get it to easily look the way I hoped it would, it just looks like a black and white image that's been tinted red, rather than a photo from a blood ocean
Honestly I don't know what's more terrifying the fact that you can see the fish right in-front of you or the depressing ocean around you.
Iron lung but the ship is ment for the depth
The ultimate plot twist lol
This is sick, great for a second playthrough
Homemade submarine having nice water pressure ngl
10:40 I smell lore
What does it smell like? :0
Ngl, it’s kinda beautiful lol. Less creepy in a way…
20:10 is sound like pandemouniun from pressure
This Ease's my scare when i only see whats around me and not on the front tysm
Ok, that's pretty cool actually how you made an area where you barely know where is what
in my opinion, this mod absolutely destroys the whole atmosphere of the game. Now this is not a horror about thalassaphobia, but just an ordinary game. But it's still an interesting mod.
Yeah lol, it certainly takes away the fear factor and what makes this game unique
It's just *a project for funsies. You can always play the original game but for those who want to explore the world in real time, they can use this mod.
Edit: Correction is marked with an asterisk.
Got here from your comment on the anomaly vid 😎
this makes game a bit more calm
Mod: you got money to buy expensive window
Bro the way you type is cute, no homo. I'll support your work to improve this mod, thanks!
n-no u
Thx for such a good showcase!
Thanks for watching))
How I believe this works (correct me if I'm wrong) is that the iron lung you play in is in the void, while the 3d environment you take pictures of is fully modeled out, with the camera being separate from the sub itself. For this mod, all it does is it puts a screen of the camera's view in front of the porthole, giving the illusion of moving through the actual game world
Pretty much yeah, this is a pretty unimpressive mod when you think about it like that, it's not really doing anything lol
@@RUNDEN_ I wouldn't say that, it's still cool to actually see where you're moving
The thing is, you shouldn't be able to see the world outside the window because the submarine isn't inside the world. The submarine isn't going anywhere, let alone on the map. You're actually controlling the camera as you navigate using the control panel. So props to the modders for pulling this off.
Nice mod but it would be good if the text stayed on screen for longer, I had to pause the video heaps of times to be able to read what it says
Sorry about that, I originally recorded this with my voice, but I ended up removing the audio track because horrible voice lol, so I replaced it with text that only showed as I was saying it, which doesn't really work for when trying to read it.
I'll do my best to not screw the text up so bad in the next video haha
The Best Mod Ever In Iron Lung
thanks to the cool mod, I've been having fun and at the same time I've tested my English skills, maybe when I play the original game I'll download this mod too
Thank you for your comment and your kind words :)
I am glad I could maybe help a bit with your english, hope you will enjoy the mod if you use it
@@RUNDEN_ :)
If you made the outside more red it would be perfect! Overall great mod!
It's been so long but just in case, for those who don't get it, the "teleport" is suposed to be the fish creature pushing the submarine.
can you see the monster tho? edit: 6:39 there he is
that's him vibing
Text commentary,when done correct, is nice.
Yeah I agree, sorry I didn't do it correct on this one lol
@@RUNDEN_
Its good enough.
That's pretty awesome.
Спасибо за видео, смотрела его после прохождения игры другим блогером(windy31), очень понравилось, интересно теперь узнать историю этого места: про постройки, про современных обитателей. Это впечатляющие результаты, видео было полезным, ещё раз спасибо, творческих успехов!
И я от него
Спасибо на добром слове)
У меня после твоего комментария ещё больший интерес к игре)
Ты не поверишь конечно! Но я то же смотрел этот хоррор после блоггера винди31!
This is gonna help me to navigate TONS
This is basically Easy mode for iron lungs. But a mod
wait if all habitable planets and stars are gone, then how does the giant fish exist?
They live in a bloody terrestrial moon. Where the game takes place in
The lore says that small bodies like moons or asteroids are all that remain, so the moon is small enough to still exists :)
@@RUNDEN_ actually Stars and Terrestrial Planets were mentioned, the only living humans were on stations and ships orbiting a celestial body, without a home they can't get recources, so they try to go into a rouge Terrestrial moon. This moon has an atmosphere and a bloody sea, it is rouge due to its 'star' disappearing from the quiet rupture sending it out into the universe out of orbit.
The interest of them exploring the bloody ocean is for the fact that it's BLOOD and can only be formed by a living life form, with it being an ocean you'd expect trillions of living creatures died there.
I thought the blood ocean was all dark.
came here from your comment, great stuff.
Glad you could make it lol, sorry for that mess trying to link the video without getting my comment auto removed haha
You know the game very well
Not really, I am cheating by being able to see, I don't know anywhere near as much as real players
I know
but your knowledge of the game is too much
Can someone recommend a sci-fi horror novel in the similar style (or causing similar emotions, having similar atmosphere) as Iron Lung videogame?
I haven't read it but hearing descriptions of _I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream_ gave off similar vibes; that one's about a cruel all-powerful artificial intelligence who becomes the apocalypse killing all life except for 6 prisoners, which it keeps alive solely to torment as avatars of the crimes of humanity. Different theme, but similar "all the worst has already become true before the story even started" format and bleakness, from what I hear.
David should have added a secret code to Iron Lung where if, somebody tries to open the window and play with it, the submarine starts taking blood and you drown.. would have been a very cool dev easter egg
How the game works so basicaly the cords on the sub is how u move but u dont actualy move it just takes a picture of that location.
Makes moving around the cabin of the submarine much more stable and seemless, pretty clever !
that's really cool
You're really cool
it would be awsome if this was in the game
you could do a jump scare where the monster quikly swims past you
There's already a scare like this, where monsters go by triggering the wall sensor briefly, no?
Отличное видео, спасибо!
Can you perhaps add a red tint to the window because you are in a blood ocean. I think everything is grey just because it makes the pictures look greyscale
Imagine if this was a movie
Honestly would be such a cool premise
The idea that the whole universe is gone and there's just nothing out there
all that remains lighting us up is the ghost light from planets and stars which no longer exist
If this wasn't a mod and was in the actual game that would be cool this game is really awesome not gonna lie
Imagine when he says "closing shield" it actually closes but then malfunctions and opens again
You'd think having this mod as a clear bonus, they'd also arm the small sub with weapons for that creature...
I wouldve suggested making the outside of the window a bit red to make it more realistic to the game or scary, but whatever this mod still looks cool
If the creator made the entire map and has the objects that we do fotos in a high-quality 3d, why aren't they used? The photos are a texture of the object in low quality
For authenticity.
takes away most of the horror as you can now see outside instead of having the buildup of taking pictures
Yeah, atmosphere killer
absolutely, this mod completely defeats the main part of the game
Вааа, это было очень круто! Спасибо.
Моя талласофобия почему-то заставляет меня искать всё больше подобных жутких вещей, от которых страшно, но и взгляда не отвести.
Ещё раз спасибо за возможность лицезреть этот мод!
Map marker for the sub seems a bad change, as it breaks the immersion of you don't exactly know where you are, opening the window is fine as everywhere is basically the same. Would be cool if there's a option to disable the sub marker
ur efforts are amazing dudeeeeeeeee
Thanks :)
They actually made the map for it and so does the *spoiler fish ending*, its not a png of a scary fish but a model
18:05 what happen if we Hit That Light??🤔
18:47 even tho I was waiting for it, it still managed to scare the shit out of me
Haha yeah, even though I knew exactly what was going to happen and knew it was just so scared to face it haha
Made it even worse knowing that there's a scare behind me, as I had all the tension and anticipation for it hah
Можно ещё доработать и вообще подлодку сделать прозрачной, вот тогда будет стрём)
Hello, can i use yours mod in video?
Of course!!!
I would love it if you use this mod in a video))
Please send link to your video when you have make it, I would love to watch)
Thank you
@@RUNDEN_ thank you very much, it is very good, but, one problem, I'm from Russia, you can watch it but you don't understand what I say, you can just see my fear and vibe of this game)
Thanks for the vid, nice to see it
Someone already did this with unityexplorer, a melonloader plugin of course.
Yeah haha, and they made a way better video on it than mine lol
UA-cam waited until after I'd uploaded this to recommend it to me haha
I guess my mod still has some use, as a more portable thing that users can more easily install without any setup? Maybe
It does throw me off tho. The sub is moving forward while the angle tracking unit thing is pointing in the other directions lol
It's just a compass but showing your angle instead of north.
