How it feels

A tense, methodical experience of constructing and managing an underwater colony in a hostile, silent world.

What players say

Players praise the underwater setting as a fresh idea, but many say the game feels unfinished and abandoned by its developers. The logistics system is widely criticized as a nightmare where resources fail to reach their destinations for unclear reasons, while the economy offers little transparency and the late game becomes a chore.
