Unlife

Unlife is a 2D platformer set in a post-nuclear world where radiation has changed almost all living things. You play as the last survivor on a platform in the Black Ocean. Seriously ill, he leaves his station aboard a large Second World War submarine to travel between platforms, help other survivors and seek a way to heal himself.

The Black Ocean

After nuclear weapons were invented and used without control at the end of World War II, humanity nearly destroyed itself in endless conflicts. Dust blocked the sun, global warming melted the glaciers, and the scarred land turned the ocean into muddy slush. Radiation shaped an evolutionary process in the poisonous water, where a parasite emerged and mutated almost all living things. Survivors adapted and built platforms across the Black Ocean, turning ships and submarines—once used for war—into means of survival and travel.

Survive and explore

You overcome obstacles, swim underwater, search for weapons and supplies, and fight dangerous monsters. You travel between platforms aboard a large submarine from the Second World War, and can also take direct control of a small submarine. Collecting trash lets you craft items for survival at a workbench.

The path to a cure

Genetic material from creatures you kill can help treat the hero's illness, and affects which of the game's two endings you reach.
