About the Game

Inspired by the success of the roguelike genre, we aim to create a more immersive and delightful gaming experience by utilizing 3D graphics, detailed environments, and high-quality marine life. The control scheme centers on WASD and the mouse; specifically, we prioritize the left mouse button for primary actions while omitting the use of the Shift key or right-click. Upgrades follow two main paths: automatically gaining experience orbs by defeating enemies to enhance the player, and acquiring items that boost stats or introduce new gameplay mechanics.
