About the Game

You've been hired to do a simple job. Dive into Benthic Station 7, the flooded deep-sea mining facility on an alien water world, locate sensitive corporate data, and destroy it. Professional, discreet, well-paid. You've done this kind of job countless times already.

But this time, the station isn't empty. Something is still alive down here, and it's hunting you.

Navigate a Flooded Facility

Explore the dark, claustrophobic corridors of Benthic Station 7, restoring power, bypassing security systems, and working deeper into the facility. Manage your oxygen, conserve your stamina, and stay out of sight. The station was built for over a hundred workers. Now it belongs to something else.

Survive the Predator

A 10-metre long apex predator patrols every level, hunting by sound and sensing your every move. Facing it head on is futile... You can evade it, distract it and make desperate escapes. Remember: you are the hunted, not the hunter. Learn its patterns, use the environment, and hope it doesn't find you first.

Destroy the Evidence

Corporate data is scattered throughout the facility. Your job is to find it and destroy it. Whether you listen to it first is entirely up to you.

Game Features:

  • Survival Horror: Evade a persistent, intelligent predator through three sections of a flooded alien facility

  • Oxygen & Resource Management: Balance exploration against survival with scarce supplies and a non-regenerating oxygen system

  • Tetris-Style Inventory: Every item takes up space, so choose carefully what you carry

  • Environmental Storytelling: The station's history is written in its walls, its bodies, and the logs you've been hired to destroy

  • One Choice: At the end, you'll decide what to do with everything you've found.
