Embark on a thrilling journey of treachery and survival in the depths of the ocean with Underlab, the latest title from Other Ocean Interactive, the creators behind the acclaimed social deception game Project Winter. Dive into an all-new social deception experience that pushes the boundaries of the genre, promising intrigue, suspense, and heart-pounding moments of uncertainty.
As the spiritual successor to Project Winter, Underlab immerses you in a realm where deceit and camaraderie collide. Engage in intense social interactions as you decipher who you can truly trust. Forge alliances and build bonds, but remember that loyalties can shift as the waves do.
Unbeknownst to the crew, Infiltrators walk among them, tasked with thwarting all Experiments, creating Emergencies and ultimately, shutting down the Laboratory.
The goal for the Infiltrators is to shut the Lab down by any means necessary. And not get caught!
Each item can be used in multiple ways, blurring the line between traitorous action and innocent tomfoolery. Some items are easily accessible by anyone in the Lab, but others need to be crafted by using resources or items only available from other roles. This means that you have to beg, plead, barter, or even steal the items and resources needed to craft the more effective items in your Crafting Station.
Plunge into the unknown depths, where deception lurks beneath every corner and survival is the ultimate goal.
Will you conquer the lab's mysteries or find yourself swept away by the tides of treachery? The choice is yours in Underlab.
