About the Game

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?
