In a world threatened by the black rain and a coming Flood, Jack leads a band of survivors from a fragile refuge. Their goal is to explore the drowned Abyssal Pool, recover sacred relics, and appease the Maker of Rain.
Each dive takes you through underwater ruins in search of resources, blueprints, and relics. Manage oxygen, health, and sanity as you navigate hazards and hostile creatures; choose when to fight and when to evade, then return with what you can carry.
Between dives, recruit survivors, assign them to camp buildings, and develop their skills. Use gathered materials to craft equipment and upgrade structures, while balancing the camp’s needs and deciding whether to sacrifice resources or survivors to gain more time.
In the supplied reviews, players who enjoy the game often highlight its oppressive deep-sea atmosphere and the suspense of exploring unfamiliar areas while oxygen and danger constrain each dive. They also praise the sense of progress from bringing resources back to improve equipment, survivors, and the camp. Some reviewers, however, felt that later areas and repeated dives became less varied, and opinions differ on the difficulty and time pressure.
Explore the Abyssal Pool, an underwater labyrinth of drowned ruins, lost idols, and mutated monsters. Lead a band of desperate survivors with Jack, a haunted man with a singular purpose: to save what's left of humanity.
Evade or fight what lurks in the dark. And try to appease the Maker of Rain before he floods the world in his black tears.
Plunge into the cursed Abyssal Pool, where every descent is a deadly gamble. Navigate sunken ruins, face eldritch horrors in darkness, and race against dwindling oxygen. Knowledge and skill are your only guides in the challenging depths.
Lead desperate survivors where death is permanent and sacrifice is inevitable. Manage health and sanity. Decide who joins, who dives, who dies. No One is safe
Transform your fragile camp into humanity's last refuge. Assign vital roles to your survivors, improve their skillset and craft them new tools & equipment. Balance resources against time to upgrade essential structures. A stronger camp means deeper dives and better chances of surviving another day.
Search for sacred relics scattered across the drowned world. Find them all before the final Flood drowns everything forever.
Time is running out; every day matters. Will you find redemption in the depths, or join the countless souls already claimed by the Black Rain?
