Bioluminescent descent shooter
Descend into a bioluminescent trench where the dark is a resource. Spend your glow to see and be seen, or hoard it and let the swarm close in unseen. A procedural deep-sea roguelike about pressure, light, and how far down you dare take a vessel you can barely afford to lose.
Free to play. Touch and controller support. Sign in only if you want leaderboards and co-op hunts.
The deeper law
Move to survive. Your guns track the nearest threat, so your hands are on the stick and your eyes are on the dark.
A wide light shows what is circling you. It also drains your glow and tells the swarm exactly where you are.
When the ring closes, burn glow to push everything back. A light given away pushes the dark back. Sit on it and the swarm closes in unseen.
Each stage ends in the Refit Bay with three upgrades on the table and one reroll. Thirty upgrades across four rarities, from Twin Feed to orbital drones.
Five strata, none of them safe
The light still remembers you here.
Boss: Shelf LeviathanColour without sun. Everything glows or hunts.
Boss: Reef WardenFlat, cold, and endless. The swarm owns the dark.
Boss: Plain DevourerHeat, venom, and pressure that bends steel.
Boss: Rift ColossusThe bottom of the world. Nothing here forgives.
Boss: Trench SovereignBosses arrive before you see them: an approach, a chase, phases, and a death beat each. Every enemy down here is a creature that hid its light and turned.
A fleet you actually feel
Each hull is procedurally rigged with its own turning, speed, light and glow regen. Five are earned in the Hangar with run credits. Two come only through Requisition.

The story
Something on the floor of the world drank the light upward. The Lanternbound sent one small sub, the Lampship, carrying the last unbroken light down through five depths. You are Captain Vael. A spark called Mote rides with you. A hoarded light curdles. A light given away endures. That rule is the game.
