Hadal

Guide a Nereid Freight submarine crew through Europa’s hostile under-ice oceans. Deliver essential cargo, salvage wrecks, repair failing stations, hunt dangerous lifeforms, and survive in the crushing darkness where every dive carries risk — and nothing stays quiet for long.

About the Game

HADAL

“Sixty years without a word from Earth.
Humanity endures — working, trading, and surviving beneath the ice.”

Deliver. Endure. Dive into the Hadal.

Work the Depths

You’re part of Nereid Freight, one of the last operating logistics companies on Europa.
Your submarine delivers supplies, spare parts, medicine, and anything else the scattered colonies need to stay alive beneath the frozen crust.
Every route is dangerous. Every contract is a gamble.
Down here, work isn’t glory — it’s survival.

Command Your Crew

Your vessel is your workplace, your shelter, and sometimes your coffin.
Manage life support, navigation, power systems, pumps, ballast, sonar, and hull integrity.
Respond to leaks, fires, pressure breaches, electrical failures, and hostile encounters.
Assign tasks to your crew — or take control of every station yourself in single-player or co-op.

Contracts, Repairs & Risky Jobs

Deliver cargo across collapsing communication networks.
Salvage scattered wrecks.
Retrieve misplaced shipments.
Rescue stranded teams.
Patch underwater infrastructure for a quick payout.
Hunt down whatever damaged the last sub that failed to return.

It’s not glamorous work. It’s necessary work.

A Living, Watching Ocean

Europa’s abyss is home to radiant ecosystems, drifting leviathans, and lifeforms adapted to crushing pressure and eternal night.
Most stay away from the noise of your engines.
Some don’t.

“They say nothing survives in the hadal zone.
Then why do we keep hearing knocks on the hull?”
