About the game
What you do in a play session
But the experience goes beyond the vacuum of space. The game plunges us into a fascinating post-apocalyptic scenario: after a catastrophic nuclear test in 1954 that devastated Earth, the surviving humanity took refuge in a gigantic floating city. Here, you take the role of a commander trying to ensure the prosperity of this last bastion of civilization. The dynamics are intriguing because the game offers two distinct and integrated modes of operation. You can start as a 'Sinksider', diving into the depths of the ocean to recover resources and save what remains of the old world, or you can 'flip the switch' and become a 'Skyside', focusing on the expansion and development of the fleet itself.
The real charm lies in the evolution of your role: as you gain influence with the ruling guilds and collect treasures from the seabed, you can expand your own vessel, attaching new components and becoming the most powerful figure in the civilization. It is a game of social ascent and power, where exploration and resource management blend with the politics of the flotilla. Whether commanding interstellar fleets or navigating the waters of a flooded world, the goal is the same: dominate the scene and leave your mark on history. It's the perfect mix for those who enjoy deep strategy, survival themes, and the feeling of building something from scratch while dealing with the pressure of leading humanity.
