What is a SUB_LOC file? A SUB_LOC file is a modified Macromedia Flash Player Compressed Movie ( .SWF file) used in Submachine Universe, a single-player exploration game developed by Mateusz Skutnik. It contains an interactive animation representing a location within the game. SUB_LOC files are stored within Submachine Universe's SUB_LOC folder.

More Information The Submachine series of games consists of fifteen point-and-click adventure games developed by Mateusz Skutnik. Submachine Universe was first released in 2009 and received updates through 2017, when the game was re-released on itch.io. When players download Submachine Universe, they receive a .ZIP package containing a note from the developer, the game's executable ( .EXE ) file, its introductory .swf animation, and a SUB_LOC folder containing SUB_LOC files. Each SUB_LOC file corresponds to a location that can be explored and interacted with within the game. NOTE: Submachine Universe's SUB_LOC folder and SUB_LOC files must be stored in the same directory as its executable file ( subnet_pc.exe ) for the game to work properly.
