Set in 1976 during the height of the Cold War, players are tasked with building and managing a deep-sea research facility aimed at advancing human cloning technology. Survival is paramount in the harsh underwater environment, where managing essential resources like oxygen, power, and food is critical for maintaining the crew’s well-being. Players must explore the abyss, mining resources to expand their base and conducting genetic experiments on unique deep-sea fauna and flora.
The challenge lies not only in resource management but also in ensuring the mental stability and obedience of the crew while uncovering the mysteries of cloning. The game’s event system requires players to make key decisions to prevent disaster, keeping light sources operational to fend off lurking dangers in the darkness. Effective infrastructure planning is necessary for manufacturing and life support, with tunnels and powerlines connecting various facilities. Players must navigate the treacherous ocean floor, constructing vertical expansions and using exploration submarines to secure distant resources. With threats ever-present in the shadows, the balance between light and darkness becomes a pivotal theme—failure to maintain illumination could spell disaster for the facility and its inhabitants.
