    This is what we like to call a "chill stream." That doesn't mean it's cold or that it involves a small river, though this particular game does feature quite a lot of water. It simply means that we're going to take this livestream slowly, calmly and with an emphasis on chilling out. Submerged is a new, combat-free exploration game set in a flooded, abandoned city. It stars Miku, a young girl searching for supplies to help her dying younger brother. Developer Uppercut Games encourages players to explore the city at their own pace to "discover hidden objects that piece together the story of a broken world and a broken family." Chill streams may be quieter than usual, but they can still be emotional. Today's Submerged livestream kicks off at 5:30PM ET/2:30PM PT on Twitch.tv/Joystiq, on the Engadget Gaming homepage or right in this post. We're playing the PC version via Steam.
