Abyss Crew

Abyss Crew is a multiplayer co-op game aboard a steampunk submarine. You and your crew explore the abyss in search of precious minerals, while learning about its creatures, treasures and mysteries and facing threats in the darkness. The game can also be started solo, though it is designed for crews of 2 to 5 players and works best with 4.

Crew the submarine

Each sailor takes a station: Pilot, Gunner, Sonar or Engineer. The crew must work together to operate the submarine and survive. With fewer than four players, AI can manage the Engineer, Sonar and/or Gunner stations, but not the Pilot station.

Explore and upgrade

Choose a submarine and search the depths for valuable items. You can use what you find to unlock modules, including hydrophones, powerful torpedoes and an electromagnetic shield. Damage to the vessel can be fatal, so the crew must take care to prevent breaches.

The abyss holds sprawling menaces, and the game raises the question of whether creatures such as “Apocalypse Jaw”, “Moby Squid” and “Jurassic Shark” are only seamen’s tales.

Multiplayer roles

A fifth player can take the optional role of Abyss Master, which is available only to the host. The Abyss Master controls the environment by adding or removing enemies and objects, including mines, oxygen bottles, pirate ships, whales and bosses, and can direct their movement and attacks.

The game also has public expeditions organized twice a month, led by an experienced Abyss Master. Players can join these sessions alone or with an incomplete crew.
