How it feels

Navigating a lonely submarine through dark, minimalist underwater depths to activate lost beacons, with a tense, arcade-like focus on memorization and quick reflexes.

What players say

Players navigate dark underwater caves using a limited sonar ping to reveal the environment, bumping into walls costs health. Levels stay fresh by introducing new twists, and the leaderboards reward speedruns. Some find the 100% achievement grind repetitive, requiring multiple runs.
