About
Earth, 1976. The cold war is in full swing and you have been tasked to construct and direct a deep sea research facility working to perfect human cloning. Survive against the odds in the extremely unforgiving abyss maintaining oxygen, power, food, and much more to keep your crew alive. Discover and mine resources for construction, light your way in the dark, and expand into your surroundings to advance your research. Capture the diverse, highly-adapted flora and fauna of the deep, but beware: the darkness hides unexpected horrors, with only the light keeping them at bay.



Lead a team of scientists conducting genetic experiments on local wildlife on the ocean floor.
Keep your population sane, obedient and alive as you expand your base and discover the secrets of cloning and genetic research.
Improve life and progress in your facility by researching advanced technologies.
The fate of your crew is in your hands! Make crucial decisions through the event system.



Ensure the survival of your crew by planning, placing and building essential infrastructure for manufacturing, research and life support.
Expand and optimize your base and its available resources. Connect your buildings and mining facilities efficiently with tunnels and powerlines.
Conquer the uneven terrain of the ocean floor with clever planning and vertical construction.



Build light pylons and push back the darkness to expand your base.
Secure resources far away from your main base by using exploration submarines and outposts.
Prevent disaster by making sure power does not fail, together with life support and light sources.



Your crew senses it, and so do you. Something is lurking at the edge of darkness, slithering and seething.
Darkness is danger, light is safety. Do not turn off the light.

the game is fun and intresting
Takes a bit of trial and error to get the hang of, and some things could be better balanced than they are, but on the whole an enjoyable and challenging base builder that's worth a look by fans of the genre.
The game is nice. BUT, only one ending, thats kinda garbage, no new game plus, and once you finish it thats it. Nothing else.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Ja Leute... Ich kann es eigentlich nur empfehlen, wenn man aber nichts so gut in englisch ist sollte man es lassen da man das spiel nur auf englisch spielen kann. mehr kann ich leider nicht sagen da ich selbst nichts so gut mit englisch bin. müsst ihr wissen.
Me encanta el juego y me funciona en mi cutrenotebuk
dvljZdkjaskJ nSDCNBJX ASBDKJNs kjk sums it up
not great but solid. rather short for a "city builder".
This game was quickly abandoned by paradox for not being very popular
Unique and polished game, I had a blast playing it
Cortito, pero entretenido
