Surviving the Abyss

Surviving the Abyss is set in 1976, during the Cold War. You build and direct a deep-sea research facility tasked with perfecting human cloning, while keeping your crew alive in the unforgiving darkness of the ocean floor.

Build and manage your facility

Plan, place and construct infrastructure for manufacturing, research and life support. Maintain oxygen, power and food, and keep your crew sane, obedient and alive. Connect buildings and mining facilities with tunnels and power lines, optimize your base and resources, and use vertical construction to work with the uneven ocean floor.

Research advanced technologies to improve life in the facility and advance your work on cloning and genetics. Make crucial decisions through an event system, with the fate of your crew in your hands.

Explore the ocean floor

Discover and mine resources to expand your facility and research. Use exploration submarines and outposts to secure resources far from your main base. Capture the deep’s diverse, highly adapted flora and fauna for genetic experiments, and uncover the secrets of cloning and genetic research.

Light and danger

Build light pylons to push back the darkness and extend your base. Keep power, life support and light sources running: darkness brings danger, while light provides safety. Something lurks at the edge of the dark.
