As I continued walking through the depths, it grew darker with each passing step. As expected, by the time I reached the 40th floor, the surrounding area was completely shrouded in darkness, and without any source of light, I wouldn't have been able to see anything. Though I'm unaffected, the way sound travels underwater is different from on land, which feels a little unsettling. That said, the speed of sound in water is about five times faster than in air, so it's not like I can't hear anything.
One small comfort is that, unlike the real deep sea, the dungeon's floor is solid beneath my feet. I don't have the sensation of sinking into a bottomless abyss—just walking through darkness.
