As the head of security, you will decide the fate of those who try to enter the underwater colony. Among the hundreds of arrivals, you may encounter dangerous criminals, spies, and the infected. You will decide who lives here, who is banished, and who is eliminated.
Welcome to Deepwatch, an exhilarating simulation game where you'll take on the role of a Guardian, protecting an underwater colony. Your mission is to review documents, ensure the well-being of the residents, and navigate challenging moral dilemmas. Get ready for an immersive experience where every decision matters!
You will have to check the documents of the new arrivals, inspect their luggage and identify infected people and criminals using various screening tools. Based on the information you receive, you must decide whether or not the new arrivals are useful to the colony.
All of your actions have consequences
Missing someone with a criminal record? You could be facing a robbery in a few days. Pity a man with a contagious disease because he has a child in the colony? Prepare for an epidemic.
You are the underwater colony's guardian. All power is in your hands. All of your decisions are non-negotiable. It is up to you to decide the fate of the inhabitants in random events. Be a harsh and ruthless dictator or a fair leader who listens to the needs of the people. The decision is yours.
You will find humans, mutants and robots among those who want to join your colony. Deepwatch offers a wide variety of unique characters.
Almost every action you take affects the resources of your underwater colony. You must maintain high levels of medicine, security, mood, and food, or the colony will die.
