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.

Amazing game, nice gameplay offering both challenge and peace at times with a great story and unexpected ending. just wish this game had a sequel
Me encanta el juego y me funciona en mi cutrenotebuk
Cannot recommend. The game still feels unfinished, and the “ending” is just an abrupt game over, nothing really matters -type affair. The main menu image changes after the end to suggest a part two, but there is no second campaign, just uninstalling an abandoned game. My biggest grievance was technical problems, especially in electricity-laying mode. My second biggest grievance was trying to end the game, because the interface tells you that you need the three mcguffins, but mcguffin three never appeared, and instead mcguffin two in the trench could be harvested twice for the same three mcguffin effect. I discovered this after clearing the entire map for no reason, searching for the third mcguffin. This could have been a great game, but everything seems incomplete, and the devs are known to have bailed on this project.
I like it, but I wish it had more updates. Once again, a game with a premis unique enough that it keeps me engaged far past what the gameplay or mechanics normally would. Difficult early game that is largely trivialized by the time you reach the end. I say largely, because you CAN still become royally screwed if you expand without taking account of all your needed resourses. I think it deserves better reviews than it has, given the fact that there is no other game like it rn. That said it's not for everyone, but there is fun and enjoyment to be had here
