You start with mining subs and will need to place a mining relay in a good position to maximise resource collection. You cannot operate in the darkness so you will need to build light towers and use sonar pulses to explore the ocean floor around you. To do that, you must establish a base and take care of basic human necessities of oxygen, food and power as you put your people to work. Set in the Cold War of the 70s, you have been sent down to the deepest depths to take command of a facility that is experimenting with human cloning.

Gameplay has been difficult to learn, and I have restarted my game multiple times, but each time I learn more and get further into it and it’s challenging yet fun to figure out. Developed by Rocket Flair Studios and published by Paradox Arc, this game released in Steam Early Access on January 18, 2023, and has an eerie and foreboding atmosphere.

Surviving the Abyss is a base-building simulation game played in the deep and dark depths of the ocean.
