# The Descent (HADAL - The Descent)

First-person underwater horror and survival game, playable in the browser: one `index.html`, three.js r169
from jsdelivr, everything procedural. Lore is in `GameLore.txt` (Hadra, the Throat, Tethys, the CANTICLE
carrier, BT Tenders). Game decisions: `Game_decisions.txt`.

## Where the code is
- `descent_v2/` is the current version. Edit `src/NN_*` files, then build with `node build.mjs`, which
  concatenates them into `index.html`. Never edit `index.html` directly.
- `descent_v2/DESIGN_V2.md` is the architecture and handover doc and the source of truth.
- `descent_v2/BRIEF_V2.md` holds the user's non-negotiable v2 requirements, V1 to V13. Check changes against them.
- `descent_v2/tests/` holds the tests.
- GitHub: `Alazkhan/Alazkhan`, folder `the-descent/`, commit a5e0dfa on `main`.
- Node may not be installed on this PC. Git is (user Alazkhan).

## v2 goals
Dark, Subnautica-like realism, open world, thalassophobia horror, a big multi-deck carrier the player pilots,
a carousel sub bay, drill or laser plus suction arms, mine/refine/craft, swimming with O2, inventory with a
future weapon slot, neumorphic UI.

## Known issues
- Terrain goes over its triangle budget in the big voids (use `?q=low`).
- The Tender lamp is too bright within about 8 m.
- Never played end to end on a real GPU.

## Working style
The user is terse and wants fixes made and delivered, not explained. Keep replies short.
