About this game
PILOT YOUR SUBMARINE AS A TEAM
Captain Mega-Hook's rumored treasure awaits and you've rented a tin can to get there. So steer it together or sink together. Coordinate your moves, call out dangers, and try not to ram into absolutely everything!
REPAIR IT TO STAY ALIVE
Oil leak, broken engines, holes.... everything breaks, all the time! Shout for tools, slap on repairs, and try not to panic as your sub turns into a fish tank.
LIVE THE DIVER'S DREAM
Explore the deep ocean, avoid sharks, and find lost loot. Just try not to wet your pants when the lights go out.
EMBRACE THE CHAOS
Have fun and mess with your teammates, push the wrong buttons, or dance as everything goes horribly wrong. It’s all part of the dive.
