About the Game

Your mission is simple: Investigate a seabound anomaly.

Explore key locations, gather clues, piece together evidence — and contain the threat before it’s too late.

You are the Second-in-Command of the 33rd Fleet — now reduced to a single warship, but still respected and feared. Alongside your Captain and Third-in-Command, you are in charge of leading this investigative operation. 

Your primary goal: 

  • Search designated Areas of Interest.

  • Gather evidence.

  • Follow any lead that might uncover the anomaly.

There are four locations, many clues to find — but only three days to finish the mission.

Anything you overlook may never be found again.

Choose carefully.

Explore, gather clues, and connect the evidence to uncover the truth.

Solve the mystery, or die trying.

Choose a side, don't look back.
