  • Survival
  • Exploration
  • Open world

Your ship crashes on an ocean planet. To survive you have to dive ever deeper, build bases and vehicles and find out what happened here. Wonder and fear of the unknown in equal measure.

Why play it now

When you have hours and want to explore: each deeper dive reveals new biomes and story progress.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys exploration with a purpose and building their own shelter.

When not to pick it

If the deep ocean genuinely scares you, or if you only have half an hour.
