About

Dive. Pilot. Explore.
subROV: Underwater Discoveries is an underwater exploration game where you operate a full-ocean-depth ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle).
Embark on dives all over the world, map unknown regions, explore shipwrecks, study aquatic species, and sample hydrothermal vents with an array of scientific tools.

Take complete control of every dive as you navigate an oceanic Research Vessel to different dive sites. Deploy your ROV and use its tools and sensors to study the depths of the ocean and the creatures dwelling within it.
Go from trainee to fully-fledged pilot as you explore the mysteries of the ocean.

Choose from various dive sites as you complete objectives such as charting the seafloor or carrying out scientific studies.
Navigate an oceanic research vessel to the exact location of your dive.
Download scientific data and information on new points of interest from ocean buoys.
Deploy your full ocean-depth rated ROV and complete scientific goals using the AI-assisted scanner, articulated arm, sensors, lander, and sediment corers.
Explore trenches, survey wrecks, and study some of the ocean's most fascinating and unusual creatures.
Keep track of your discoveries in the Gallery.
Complete objectives to progress from trainee to Dive Master.
subROV: Underwater Discoveries is being developed in collaboration with the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences and the Schmidt Ocean Institute, with funding from the European Union and partial funding from a National Science Foundation BIO-OCE grant.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STEAM DECK OWNERS
subROV has been certified for the Steam Deck, so it is fully playable and complies with several requirements set by Steam for the device. The frame rate while exploring the seafloor often dips and stays in the 20s, though, and cloud saves have not been implemented yet.
If you are thinking of buying subROV for the Deck exclusively, and generally can't stand low fps, we advise that you wishlist it for the time being.

I liked what I played so far, but I bought it specifically to play on the Steam Deck. Turns out it doesn't run well at all on it. It might seem like it does at first in the tutorial, but you'll be playing at 20 FPS once you reach the ocean floor in proper missions. Personally, I found that to be unplayable. The dev seems like a lovely fellow and I noticed he said he plays on the Steam Deck himself to get in the player's mindset, so I hope he'll improve performance with future patches.
DEEP SEA AUTISM ACTIVATED I highly recommend this game, it's very peaceful and nice, especially if you like exploring or deep sea organisms.
Enjoy the concept and impressed with its progress!

Most fun I've had playing a deep-sea focused game since Subnautica. It's a small market and this game does a fantastic job of scratching that itch.
Este simulador me parece de lo mejor que se puede encontrar para tener una experiencia realista, inmersiva y con base científica. Era lo que yo deseaba desde hace mucho tiempo. Poder sentirme como si realizara una inmersión en pleno océano con un ROV de investigación submarina al estilo del SUBastian u otros. Con realismo y sin ser un juego más. Altamente recomendable para todos los que aman la investigación submarina. Y con una buena banda sonora... Totalmente recomendable
Genial, immersif. Très bonne simulation.
A good simulation of deep sea ROV operations.
I think its amazing to be honest! I have just started, but I already love it! I can't wait to start with missions that require me to use the arm.
At first I didn't know what to expect from this game but after playing it I was pleasantly surprised. Although the beginning is a bit overwhelming due to the number of controls that you have to learn and use, you immediately get control of the submarine. The music and sounds in general are awesome. They have great quality and you could be playing for hours since they are very pleasant and immersive. The ui is very well done. It is easy to understand and it is appreciated that they have put a lot of love into it. It is a game that makes you feel how small we are compared to the oceans of this planet and helps you discover the different species that live on it. A great adventure! Highly recommended.
Aus irgendeinem Grund hat mich das Spiel durchgehend an Dangerous Waters erinnert... ich hab ständig nach dem Knopf Ausschau gehalten, mit dem man Sonar Bojen abwerfen kann. Ein "dipping Sonar" haben wir ja schon an Bord ;) Die Prämisse ist nett, das Spiel angenehm entspannt. Die Steuerung etwas fummelig bisweilen, aber das scheint mir durchaus realistisch zu sein. Manchmal wollen die Fischis sich einfach nicht fotografieren lassen, und ich hab glaub ich fünf Minuten damit zugebracht, einen besonders kamerescheuen Hai nachzujagen, von dem ich immer noch nicht weiß, welcher Spezies er angehört (die blöde Kuh). Ich hab auch das Sub mal erfolgreich genau auf einem hydrothermalen Schlot geparkt, und der Hitzesensor hat was von 400 Grad erzählt. Aber kaputt ist es dadurch scheinbar nicht gegangen. Mir ist auch der... Algen-Zollstock abhanden gekommen, und irgendwo in den schwarzblauen Untiefen des Pazifiks entschwunden. Und eines der Gefahrengut Fässer hat beschlossen, nicht zur Spielsitzung zu erscheinen. Davon abgesehen... fände ich es toll, wenn hier mehr Herzblut hinein fließen würde. Ich fand meine Zeit unter Wasser angenehm, Es gibt so viele Möglichkeiten, das Spiel zu erweitern. Verschiedene Aufsätze für den Greifer, verschiedene Subs, mehr vom Schiff zum Begutachten und Verwenden. Mehr Meeresleben. Mehr von allem! Aber ich befürchte, dass wir nicht mehr zu sehen bekommen werden... Wobei... nein, falsch; der Entwickler hat sogar auf meine dummen Kommetare im Steam Forum geantwortet. Also tut sich doch noch was! Bleibt am Ball. oder an der Boye.
