The City's Story

The City's Story is a hidden story told through collectible books strewn throughout The City in Submerged.

The Story
According to the books, the world was once bright and heavily populated. Humanity built planes and cars, and populated the entire planet with mega cities. Over time, the populations grew larger and larger, and the sun began to blot out, covered in clouds. After the first rains, humanity continued to grow. Soon, a storm began that would last hundreds of years. The waters rose and covered the earth. Lightning struck the bottom of the ocean, and even more water bubbled forth.

With the sea floor cracked, a new, green life came to the surface, and began to attack humanity. Humans fled, and the last big city left from the rains was slowly taken over. For years, the water levels would rise, fall, and rise. Humanity barely survived, while the few people left in the last city became one with the new green lifeform as the wildlife had years before.

The world is now entirely covered in water, save for the last great city, and few sparse raise platforms where humanity struggles to survive.
