About the game

A first-person survival exploration game about surviving in the ocean of an alien planet where your spaceship has crashed. You gather resources to build equipment, bases and submarines, pushing into ever-deeper areas like coral reefs, volcanoes and caves. There's tension in having to avoid dangerous creatures with tools and evasion rather than weapons. As you explore, you gradually uncover the story tied to the planet.

Why we recommend it

Crash-landed alone in an alien ocean, you'll find the mystery and dread growing the deeper you go. The exploration is breathtaking.

Good for — Great for: anyone who loves the thrill of exploring the unknown and survival crafting
