About the Game

You are an employee of a faceless corporation named W.A.K.E.

Dropped on an alien ocean world with one directive: Explore. Why? You don’t know. You just follow orders, printed coldly from a terminal in your cabin.

Explore, Upgrade, and Uncover the Unknown

Navigate a vast, procedurally generated world from the deck of your drone ship in this top-down exploration game.

Features:

🛥️ 15 Unique Ships – Each with distinct strengths, upgradeable stats, and abilities.

🌍 Endless Procedural Maps – No two expeditions are the same. Discover shifting biomes, colourful terrain and hidden buildings.

🏗️ Upgradeable Buildings – Find Research Stations to enhance ship capabilities and Harbor's to unlock more powerful vessels.

🔧 Persistent Progression – Earn Coins, Research Points, and rare Sub-nautical Data to continually improve your fleet and efficiency.

🎯 Objective System – Complete your mapping assignments to progress to new planets, unlocking new ships and technologies

📈 Highscores & Endless Levels – Compete, improve, and push deeper into uncharted waters.

You are not told the reasons. Only the results.

Follow the orders. Expand your fleet. Dive deeper

How far can your ship go?
