About the Game

Descend into the depths. Meet your quota… or don’t come back.

Subsurface is a 1–4 player co-op horror experience set in decaying underwater facilities, where you and your crew are sent below the surface to recover valuable resources… but something is already down there.

Every dive is a risk.
Search flooded corridors, abandoned structures, and collapsing environments while gathering enough loot to meet your quota and escape.

But you’re not alone.

The deeper you go, the worse it gets.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 CO-OP SURVIVAL

Play solo or with up to 4 players online.
Stick together… or risk being picked off one by one.

💰 QUOTA-BASED GAMEPLAY 

Collect valuable resources and meet your quota before time runs out.
Fail, and you’ll be sent back down.

🌊 MULTIPLE UNDERWATER LOCATIONS

Explore unique maps with different layouts, hazards, and hidden dangers every dive.

🔦 LIMITED VISIBILITY

Darkness is your enemy.
Rely on your light, your team, and your instincts to survive.

🫁 CONSTANT PRESSURE

Limited visibility, isolation, and the depths themselves work against you.
Panic, noise, and bad decisions can get you killed.

Will you make it back to the surface…

or become part of the depths?
