Playable alpha · Archived experiment

Eight Hours to Daylight

Sonar contact. Bearing 035. Closing. You command a destroyer escort in the North Atlantic, and something is moving beneath the convoy.

Keep the convoy alive

Your sonar tells you something is out there. Your job is to close the range, build a reliable contact, and drop before the submarine slips away—or reaches the merchant ships under your protection.

Eight Hours to Daylight combines a real-time sonar model with a full bridge command interface. The preserved alpha remains playable, but development is paused and it is not presented as a finished release.
