How it feels

You and your crew pilot a custom submarine through alien oceans, managing resources and surviving threats in a tense, cooperative extraction experience.

What players say

Players are split on the content depth, some call it repetitive and shallow, while others find it a fun co-op experience with strategic gameplay that is deeper than games like Lethal Company and R.E.P.O. The submarine combat and outpost looting are the core activities, and playing with at least two friends is strongly recommended for enjoyment.
