In both modes, you navigate through vast depths, explore, discover underwater cities, trade, upgrade your submarine, acquire new ones, develop your character, have dialogues with NPCs, complete tasks, mine resources from the seabed, face or avoid the dangers lurking in the depths, compare your achievements with other players, or finally meet them online in the chat. This is just a foretaste of what awaits you in the underwater open world of AQUABYSS!

World

The world of AQUABYSS is set underwater in the Victorian steampunk era of the early 19th century. All the major trade and communication is done via submarines. As a player, you command your vessel and freely choose how to explore that world - by trading, mining seabed resources, fighting pirates and krakens, or fulfilling contracts or tasks taken from NPCs. But your submarine is not the only medium helping you make a reputation and verns, the underwater currency. It's also an RPG system that allows you to develop useful attributes of your character.
