Ship Repair Business, But Lovecraftian
Sunken Engine is a ship repair simulation game with a distinctive Lovecraftian atmosphere. After your father’s untimely death, you must keep the business you inherited alive. This means not only repairing ships but also keeping customers satisfied, maintaining the town’s order, and uncovering the mysteries your father left behind. Yet every new ship brings new challenges and ominous secrets.
Dark Horror and Sanity
The supernatural events you face during daily work will threaten your sanity. Losing your mental balance not only makes your job harder but may also attract the attention of dark entities. To survive, you must find ways to protect your mind, continue your work, and keep your wits if you wish to discover your father’s true legacy.
Sunken Ship’s Goods
Repairing is not the only way to sustain your business. You can sell valuable loot recovered from the sea at the stall behind your shop. The economy is difficult for everyone in town; you must care for your family while keeping the business alive. Sometimes, this means stepping beyond conventional ways to earn profit.
Repair the Ships
Your town is located in the middle of a busy sea route. Ships of various sizes and types dock for repairs, and it is your duty to meet the captains’ needs. Fixing damages is vital not just for your business but for the safety of the entire region. Yet some repairs may require more than just your tools…
Customization and Progression
You can renovate and improve your shop as you wish. By customizing your tools, workspace, and decorations, you can impress customers and bring to life the workshop your father once dreamed of.
Ships and Licenses
As you progress, you’ll learn to repair more ships and, with new licenses, take on more complex work. Each license opens the door to new types of ships and new challenges. But remember: not every ship is just a repair job—some bring with them dark stories and sinister secrets. Be cautious…
