Whisper Drive
January, 1984. In the closed shipyards of the Soviet north, a submarine unlike any other slips into black water: B-500 Severnaya Zvezda — the Northern Star. Her weapon is not her missiles. It is silence.
You are Captain First Rank Andrei Reznik, and tonight you turn her west. Behind you: the entire Northern Fleet, ordered to send you to the bottom — led by Orlov, your own best student, who knows every trick you are about to use because you taught him all of them. Ahead: an American navy that has been told you are a madman with twenty warheads.
Cross seven zones and twenty-nine legs of hostile ocean — nearly two weeks submerged. Manage noise, power, depth and a crew that did not volunteer for treason. Thread the GIUK minefields. Run Stalin Street One, the drowned canyons of the Reykjanes Ridge, with an Alfa in the street behind you. Decide what to do about the political officer. Let the crew sing the anthem one last time. And choose whether to trust the American shadow that has been following you since Iceland — because there is a man in Washington who has staked his career on what you are really doing.
Six endings. Only one of them is legend.
FEATURES — Turn-based stealth strategy with live tactical battles · torpedoes that hunt through the thermal layers · a power bus, a battery, and a drive with no propeller · officers, loyalty, morale and mutiny · storms, Crazy Ivans, CO2 emergencies and saboteurs · attract-mode demo, cheats, hall of fame, save codes · original synthesized score, CRT scanlines and film grain (toggleable) · one single HTML file, no install, plays offline.
Verified by 2,400+ automated full patrols. From 1,000 measured voyages: 73% of captains reach the Legend ending, 10% are lost with all hands — and Orlov personally accounts for seven in ten of the dead. Save two torpedoes for the end. You will want them.
