About the Game


The Deepening: Eco-Offensive is a spin-off video-game series set in the “The Deepening” book universe and features the protagonist of the story, Kyle, in his adventures prior to the events in the Book.

With merely a few years left before The Deepening Campaign (a massive solar system taming event) kicks off, Kyle has taken up the mantel to help protect those leading the charge from ferocious beasts that threaten daily working life.

The Deepening is coming, do you have what it takes to ensure its survivability?


Presented in a casually-challenging, neo-minimalistic 8bit package, and strapped with a classic platformer control set – think Mario – you will surely experience some nostalgia-with-a-twist while running around this modernly-polished space adventure.

Travel between the worlds aboard Kyle’s ship by making use of “Rails,” enormous rings orbiting around various planets in our system used for immediate and direct work on and off planet.

Prep various planets in our very own Solar-System by defeating an array of alien beasties with an arsenal of Eco-offensive weapons, and convert them into useful Bio-Essence to help the Research and Development of sustainable atmospheres on the respective planets.


  • Admire a minimally retro inspired, but modernly polished art-style set in an 8-bit Space Opera Universe.
  • Hop between worlds, each with their own unique gravities withing classical platforming action.
  • Take on bounties against large, ferocious beasts, and collect Bio-essence from the lesser for a bonus.
  • Explore increasingly dark caves with beautiful 2D lighting to guide the way.
  • Upgrade a series of tools to help explore every inch of the worlds.
  • Discover secret collectables and upgrades on each of the levels.
  • Unleash Kyle’s true potential with his ultimate Hydro2 Armor.
