2628 The Return to Earth
Saturday 20th September 2628:
Humanity has lived on Mars for 500 years after abandoning Earth.
Now, you have been sent back to establish a deep-sea operation in the oceans of the Earth
Build and automate underwater factories to extract resources, process materials, upgrade your submarine, diving gear, and weapons, and push deeper into places humanity was never meant to return to.
But Earth was not abandoned for the reasons you were told. How deep will you go to uncover the truth beneath the waves?
Your Goals
• Gather - Collect valuable resources from the ocean floor and deep cave systems.
• Craft - Upgrade your submarine, diving gear, and equipment.
• Automate - Build systems to harvest, transport, and process resources.
• Survive: Endure pressure, darkness, hostile creatures, and the unknown.
Unlock and upgrade
To descend deeper, you must use the resources around you to upgrade your submarine, diving gear, and defensive systems.
Build and automate
Gather resources from ocean caves and the seafloor to construct automated systems that harvest, transport, and process materials. Expand your operation, improve efficiency, and unlock new technologies that allow you to descend further into Earth’s abandoned oceans.
Uncover the Truth
Alone in Earth’s familiar blue waters, you begin to discover that history did not tell the whole story. The deeper you descend, the more unsettling the ocean becomes. Harmless creatures may not be harmless. Old records may not be true. And something beneath the waves was never meant to be found.
Do you have what it takes to uncover the truth hidden beneath the ocean — the truth history books never told?
