The Deepwatch

The Deepwatch is a simulation game in which you play as the Guardian of an underwater colony. You review documents, inspect luggage and make decisions about who may join, while managing the colony’s resources and deciding how to respond to events that affect its residents.

Screen new arrivals

Use various screening tools to identify infected people and criminals among those seeking entry. Based on the information available, you decide whether each newcomer is useful to the colony. Arrivals include humans, mutants and robots, with a wide variety of unique characters.

Your decisions have consequences. Letting in someone with a criminal record could lead to a robbery days later, while admitting a person with a contagious disease could cause an epidemic, even if they have a child in the colony.

Govern the colony

As Guardian, you have the final say over the inhabitants’ fate in random events, and your decisions are non-negotiable. You can govern as a harsh, ruthless dictator or as a fair leader who listens to the people’s needs.

Manage resources

Almost every action affects the colony’s resources. Keep medicine, security, mood and food at high levels, or the colony will die.
