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

[ HOW TO PLAY ]

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PLAY THE WINDOWS VERSION FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE.

The vessel will be sinking at an exponential rate. The deeper it travels, the stronger the subterranean pressure. The increased pressure will gradually wear down weak points in the hull and affect life and navigation systems. Damaged components can be repaired using the appropriate tools. Maintain your vessel and see how long you survive!

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 tapping E.
  • Use tape to patch cracked windows. As long as a window stays cracked water will continue to pour into the vessel. Hold E to apply the repair.
  • Use the wrench to fix machinery. Damaged components will spark and sound broken. Tap E 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.
