11 itemsAbout the Game
Sunken Veins is a management horror game set on a flooding underwater coal mine. Your job is to gather coal whilst dealing with overwhelming floods of water and avoiding adaptive creatures that hunt and deceive you.
HYPER REALISTIC WATER PHYSICS
Sunken Veins features realistic simulated water physics that reacts to the environment. Block and reinforce doors to prevent water from spreading, or drain it away to remove the danger.
MINING FOR RESOURCES
Operate a deep-sea mining drill to extract coal and scraps. Whilst mining, the facility builds heat, which increases the chances of causing a flood. Find the balance between gathering resources and keeping heat levels low.
DRAINING UNITS
Floods in the facility will cause you to lose power faster and also slow your movement. Large industrial drains will help you remove water and keep the water levels down.
MAINTAIN
A proactive approach can help you stay alive. Repair and reinforce ceiling vents. Fortify doors to stop water spreading. Whatever it takes.
ROBOT COMPANIONS
Deploy robotic companions to help you deal with problems. Vacuum Crabs will patrol and drain away water whilst Canary Drones will scout and alert you of danger.
ADAPTIVE CREATURES
You aren't alone. Predatory creatures have found their way into the mine after the company disrupted their home. They are smart, adaptive and very dangerous. How you play will influence the behaviours they use to hide, deceive and try to kill you.
TWITCH CHAT INTEGRATION
Connect your Twitch account to allow chat to influence the game. You can control which commands are available for chat to use, set cooldowns for them, and also set custom text prompts that triggers the commands. Some commands are helpful and some are disruptive. You can fully control which ones are available for your chat to use.
