If you see the line, it's real
Clear swarms with skills and mix shooting, melee, magic and organic attacks. Every enemy telegraphs. Some will feint — but if you see the red line, it's real. Read it, dodge, punish the opening.

Hall of Statues · origin select
The statues awaken.
Origin select begins in the Hall of Statues. The statue you choose cracks, the stone breaks away, and your character steps out into the abyss.

Six races · one abyss
Who will you descend as?
Six races with entirely different gear screens, skills and growth. Humans advance classes, Machines assemble modules, Merfolk set weapons in orbit, Hybrids mutate their own bodies. Their look changes as they grow.
※ Race, world and boss art is work-in-progress concept art, currently being brought into the game. Final in-game visuals may differ.
World bosses · the camera has to pull back
Things that fill the screen are waiting.
Every sea has a giant more than ten times your height. Three-phase transformations, breakable parts, arena-wide telegraphs. Raise the pressure and the rewards grow with it.
L7 · Seventh sea
Nemer, Lord of the Abyss
A spear of blue lightning. One straight strike splits the whole arena — if you see the line, it's real.
※ Work-in-progress concept art. Final in-game visuals may differ.
Race skills · effects
The screen explodes.
Every race has its own color, shape and feel of skill: area blasts that wipe a swarm, piercing shots that skewer a line, ground effects that paint the floor.
Human
Human · Binding Seal
Trap a swarm in a triangular seal and burn it all with violet lightning.
※ Skill-effect style art. Final in-game visuals may differ.
Features
Hack, slash, loot, go deeper.
II
Hunt legendary gear
Every fight drops common, magic, rare and legendary gear with randomized affixes. Chase build-changing legendary effects, complete sets, socket runes, and reroll, upgrade, awaken or mutate your favorites.
III
Eight connected worlds
Shipwrecks, sunken ruins, hidden caves and waypoints across eight seas. No oxygen timer — focus on the fight and the exploration. The deeper you go, the less light and the bigger the monsters.
IV
Bring down the giants
Learn boss telegraphs and phase changes, break weak points, raise the pressure for richer rewards. Then dive again with another race or build.
Monsters of the first sea
Each one dies differently.
From the very first sea, every enemy has its own temperament, movement and answer. If you see the red line, it's real — read it, dodge, punish.
Broken Lighthouse Shallows
Bomber Puffer
It closes in, swells and bursts. Get distance before the ring of spines spreads.
