About the Game

Dive with a team of up to 8 to the bottom of the ocean. Your mission: Remove all corpses from Pharma Corps' abandoned labs. Erase any evidence of their failed experiments.

Dive into the ocean with a submarine that suits your playstyle. Go solo or team up with a friend in the small sub, play with up to 4 players in the regular sub, or gather 5 to 8 players for a full chaotic crew experience in the large sub.

Use your caddie to extract dead bodies from the wrecks that used to be labs. But be careful! There are things lurking and oxygen might run out quicker than you expect.

  • Do not die: the wrecks are filled with dangers and creatures ready to kill you.

  • Destroy proof to gain credits: bring the bodies back to the sub and destroy them using a shredder.

There are numerous abandoned labs spread across the ocean floor. Coordinate with your team to pilot the submarine towards them.

  • Piloting: the sub is blind, you must rely on sonar and stations to "see" and pilot it.

  • Dangers: you have to identify and avoid what lurks in the open ocean.

Survived? Good. Spend your hard-earned credits on items, upgrades, and modules to boost your chances on the next expedition. Equip items like Agent NUTS, the shopping cart, or the scooter. Upgrade with see-through vision, body part detectors, or a grappling hook. Enhance your ship with modules for greater depth, bigger fishing nets, and more. Prepare wisely for the dangers below.

Unlock diving suits by completing missions or participating in activities, adding style to your underwater adventures.
