6 itemsAbout the Game
In Bathyscraft, you begin your expedition with a small, fragile submarine and a simple goal: reach the bottom of the ocean. The deeper you travel, the harsher the environment becomes - you'll need to keep your crew alive and upgrade your bathyscaphe if you want to succeed!
Build Your Submarine
Expand your vessel using a card-based room system. Each room you add becomes part of your submarine and unlocks new statistics, tools or features.
Design your layout carefully: every room matters, not all combinations are possible, and the dangerous creatures of the abyss might try and destroy what you've carefully built...
Collect and Craft
Explore the depths to gather various materials and resources. Use them to feed your crew, craft better equipment, reinforce your hull, and build specialised rooms that allow your submarine to descend even further.
Survive the Depths
The ocean is not forgiving. To survive your descent, you must balance critical systems:
Pressure increases as you dive deeper, threatening to crush your submarine.
Food keeps your crew alive during long expeditions.
Every decision affects how far your submarine can go.
Reach the Abyss
Plan your submarine, upgrade wisely, and push deeper with every expedition.
With the right combination of rooms, equipment, and resource management, you may finally reach the deepest point of the ocean.
The abyss is waiting.
