About the Game

Darkwater is a cooperative extraction horror game for 1-4 players. Take command of your own custom submarine and survive the icy depths of an alien moon.

Play solo or enlist your own submariner crew. Up to 4 players can team up and survive an onslaught of deep-sea threats. Face down enemy submarines in naval warfare and dock your vessel to abandoned outposts in order to scavenge for supplies.

A devastating disease has struck an alien planet. The government has frozen the surface of the ocean in response. You and your crew are trapped below the ice.

  • Source fuel and travel from outpost to outpost in a desperate bid for survival

  • Uncover snippets of information relating to a greater truth

  • Plan and strategize every step of the way as you fight against the relentless adversity of a desperate world

Resources are scarce. Discover and explore dilapidated underwater facilities on foot and strip them for all they’re worth. Be prepared to deal with what lurks below.

  • Face down a variety of unpredictable enemies including infected divers, deep-sea angler fish and alien crabs.

  • Even the odds using a wide range of weaponry including sledgehammers, blow torches, pistols and shotguns.

  • Make sure you and your team have enough room to carry back the fuel canisters critical to your survival - teamwork is key to ensuring you live to see another day.

Take direct control of onboard systems for piloting, weapons and sonar. Upgrade your submarine. Expand your deck, invest in different cabins, negotiate with rival vessels, but be ready for war.

  • Utilize a variety of powerful torpedoes, harpoons, decoy mines and depth charges to gain the upper hand in sub-to-sub combat

  • Board enemy vessels using a manned torpedo to deliver the ultimate in-person surprise

  • Invest in unique rooms for your submarine that help with hacking, stealth and other strategic options
