About this game
A roguelite action game set in a post-apocalyptic water world. Shape your strategy by choosing which abilities shine by day and which awaken at night.
Get ready for fast-paced combat, procedural generation, permadeath, and meta-progression.
You play as a volunteer sent to the surface in search of vital resources. Explore rust-covered platforms, fight hostile machines, collect loot, and upgrade your skills. Maybe your run will be the one that changes everything - and gives humanity a second chance.
High-Intensity Combat
Enemies are deadly and unforgiving. You'll need precise aim and constant movement to survive.
Dynamic Day-Night Cycle
Some perks only work during the day, others - only at night. Plan your build wisely as time in the game moves forward relentlessly.
A Wide Arsenal of Weapons and Gadgets
Mix and match dozens of weapons and active items to handle any threat that comes your way.
Procedural Generation
Levels, enemies, and loot are generated from scratch each time - no two runs are the same.
Meta-Progression
Death is not the end. Upgrade your starting base to improve your chances in future runs.
Post-Apocalyptic Waterworld
Civilization fell in a war against soulless machines. Cities are submerged, and the last survivors hide in underwater bunkers, venturing to the surface only in search of resources.
