A short horror game where you pilot a tiny submarine through an ocean of blood.
Play the game the movie is based on! Iron Lung is a short dread-driven submarine horror game from the developer of DUSK, Chop Goblins, and Squirrel Stapler, and being adapted to movie by Markiplier in 2026. Set entirely within a claustrophobic one-man submarine nicknamed the "Iron Lung," you must blindly navigate an ocean of blood to take photographs of key locations, and hope whatever lives below doesn't find you. There is only a single porthole on the sub, and it needs to be closed due to depth pressure, so you have to navigate purely via an incomplete map, proximity sensors, sound, and a primitive external camera which can be used to take the pictures you need to complete your mission, or to get a grainy low resolution visual of what's happening outside. Success will require resourcefulness and patience. THE STORY: Decades ago, every known star and habitable planet mysteriously vanished, along with whatever and whoever happened to be on them, leaving behind an empty universe of asteroids and lifeless moons where the only remnants of humanity are those who were on space stations or starships at the time. With supplies gradually dwindling and infrastructure falling into disrepair, the survivors have spent the subsequent years frantically searching for any trace of remaining natural resources. Up until now they have been unsuccessful... Then, a mysterious anomaly known as a Blood Ocean (which is exactly what it sounds like) was discovered on an otherwise barren moon. It's not the first Blood Ocean found since the vanishing, but initial scans show a collection of potentially useful anomalous locations in a deep undersea (underblood?) trench that require further investigation. And you're the unlucky sap who gets to investigate, in an aging submarine cobbled together from rusty space station parts. Find your way to the marked locations, photograph whatever you find there, and try to finish before the sub collapses around you... or you're discovered by whatever lurks in the blood...

- Mason Porter
it is fairly short, but for the price it's not really an issue, I just hope that the cheats update and any other potential future updates get added to this version too
- The Lord Of Stupidity · v1.11
Great game and great port, very well optimized. All I wish for is the cheats feature thats in all the other versions.
- Gerald Washburn · v1.11

I love playing this game with my friends. I'm so happy there's actually a mobile port. most fun indie game ever! (p.s. really wanna watch the film)
- DavidNJ · v1.11
very good
- Adrian Rocha
Wanted to play this before I got to see the movie but sad to say this is easily one of the most overrated indie games I've ever played. Cool concept, extremely lackluster execution. This deserves a remake.
- Ryan H
Really good game, graphics are simple but it runs well.

corto ma spettacolare, un piccolo capolavoro di tensione. da usare con le cuffie
- Michele Angoscini · v1.11
It's as good as a game about being in a submarine as it gets. Real fun time.
- Spaz Matik · v1.11
this game is so good,i can play it offline and i can play it anythime and anywhere
- Zeus Pascua · v1.11
I absolutely love this game! it took me a while to figure out the navigation but it didn't stop the build up of suspense. I love this game!
- Picean Loki · v1.11
very great game, it makes me want to make a game myself but I know I pretty much can't 🥱 this game is slow and sometimes makes you want to do something else other than play it but that's pretty much the point, like that's how it keeps the creepy vibe. the end was so brutal and I wanna know why the anomalies were playing with their food 🤨 like only at the end I see the eye and the other creature that breaks in the SM-13 to stop me from taking that last picture...of what 🤔 I didn't get to see.
- De'Andre Wright · v1.11
Good but brief. Takes approximately 1 hour to complete in one sitting after you get used to navigating. Dunno if it has much replay value but it's definitely worth playing once. Kinda wish there could be a more fleshed out game built on the same concept. If this had a much bigger map and a much longer playtime with the same "blind" navigation, I think the limited visual feedback could survive a long haul. There's plenty of room for imagination between photos. Iron Lung 2 LET'S GO.
- Derelict Account · v1.11
I'm glad I can finnaly play iron lung and I enjoyed it but I think its lacking achievements unlike the pc verision.
- cody gebhard · v1.11
no iOS version :/
- Stephen · v1.11
It was great!! It took me a little to figure out the mapping because I'm a little slow but its a great game and gave me shivers everytime something beeped that wasn't a wall. I reccomend this to anyone who wants to play though it saves progress weirdly which means you really gotta lock in to save.
- Rikardo · v1.11
good game FR
- Kenston Gambill · v1.11
10/10 markiplier burst through my phone and ironed my lungs, amazing experience 👍
- Moonlight WOLF · v1.11
Amazing atmosphere
- Karlo Mrkša · v1.11
wow, I never thought a simple game like this would actually be fun. I love it so much, worth the $1.99 and I'd even say as far as $5 to be honest.
- Derelict _ · v1.11
I love the game and the movie this game is amazing
- Fnaf fan 87 · v1.11
I got into this game because I heard that there was a movie adaptation. Long story short, I'm a fan of this game. A great mobile port. gives you the same amount of anxiety and tension that you want from the PC version. for $0.99 (At the time of purchase) I could definitely see myself recommending it to my friends.
- Joshua Ely · v1.11
I love this game very much
- Linsey Blue · v1.11
Amazing little horror game! How can such a simple premise be so tense! Headphones are essential to get the full experience. It's brief but so worth the tiny price of admission. Now I'm curious about the film and if it lives up to this game! I'll be keeping this on my phone to play through again!
- Rodney Grey · v1.11
you literally cant do anything thats in the PC version. Why cant you use cheats on mobile but you can on pc??? the third image is impossible to get.
- Dash Roy · v1.11
the best mobile port. because i don't have a day to play on pc.
- REI 0 · v1.11

- Elijah Mills · v1.11
I LOVE THE OCEAN OF BLOOD I LOVE THE OCEAN OF BLOOD
- Nick Laramie · v1.11
An incredibly immersive experience set in an even more interesting universe. I have yet to see the movie, but I found this game when Dave announced it. In fact I even reached out to ask for the game(I didn't have the money), and Dave was kind enough to give me a code. I always wanted to pay for it after experiencing it. Now I do so happily. Thank you for this awesome game and even cooler world, Dave. You're awesome!
- C B · v1.11
okay i didnt expect this to be so good, even though i have a pretty potato phone it runs so smooth i didn't expect that absolutely worth the dollar spent, highly recommended, i watched 8bit ryan play it now its available on mobile is absolutely crazy. i recommend it way above "install or you gonna regret" meter.
