Deep Fear (CIB)

Released in 1998 as one of the final titles for the Sega Saturn, this cult classic is often remembered as the console’s haunting swan song. Set in the claustrophobic corridors of an underwater research facility, it blends the slow-burn tension of Resident Evil with real-time oxygen management, eerie isolation, and a sense of dread that only deep-sea silence can deliver.

The game never saw a North American release, making it one of the Saturn’s most mysterious and underappreciated titles. But those who found it — and finished it — never forgot it.

At RetroRane, Deep Fear holds a special place in our vault. It's the kind of game we exist to protect — a lost gem, passed over by the mainstream, but pulsing with innovation, atmosphere, and heart. It's proof that even at the end of a console’s life, creative sparks can still ignite unforgettable experiences.
