How to Solve Submarine Dream Puzzle in Atomic Heart

After all, this is what nightmares are all about, and well, we are in a very eerie dream after all. So let’s get on with it!

We will wake up (or dream up) to a battle zone, frozen in time. You will see planes dropping bombs and soldiers fighting the good fight.
