Crew a fragile submarine under the ice of a distant moon, where leaks, fires and monsters hit all at once.
Who can play
- No split-screen on any platform.
- Online for up to 16 players on PC.
- Each player online needs their own copy.
How it plays
Each player takes a job, from captain and engineer to medic and security, and the submarine only survives if everyone does theirs and talks.
When things go wrong they go wrong loudlyA hull breach floods a room while the reactor overheats and something bites the hull.
Learning the controls takes time, but a full crew of friends gets a mix of horror, panic and slapstick that few games match.
