Masterfully juggle tasks as you maintain a vessel barreling towards the darkness.

[ HOW TO PLAY ]

As your vessel sinks deeper into the crushing darkness of the ocean, increasing pressure will gradually wear down life and navigation systems. Patch leaking windows, repair broken machinery, and bail water with the tools you have to maximize your chance of survival. 


Survival Tips

  • It is important to steer the vessel to avoid collisions. Failure to do so will cause the vessel to stop. The warning system will indicate when an obstacle is approaching.
    • You can mount and dismount the wheel by pressing E or LMB.
  • Use tape to patch cracked windows. As long as a window stays cracked water will continue to pour into the vessel. Hold E or LMB to apply the repair.
  • Use the wrench to fix machinery. Damaged components will spark and sound broken. Press E or LMB to apply the repair.
    • The oxygen supply will deplete if the air pump is not maintained. This will result in suffocation.
  • Use the bucket to scoop water and drain the water into the toilet. Failure to do so will result in drowning. Tap E to scoop, Tap E to use toilet with a full bucket.
