April 2026

Got hired as medic on my first ever game captain says were doing a simple delivery mission cool. 5 minutes in hulls breached on 3 sides theres water everywhere reactors melting down and some dude is injecting everyone with random chemicals "to help" while a sea monster is ripping the sub apart from outside lol. We all died. Queued another one immediately This game is basically what happens when you give like 16 people a nuclear submarine and just say figure it out. Engineer rewires something and accidentally kills the oxygen. Mechanic is welding a breach while standing in water and just electrocutes himself. Medic overdoses the captain on morphine. Security officer shooting at something in a dark flooded hallway that mightve been a crew member nobody knows. Somehow the sub is still moving tho. Sometimes Traitor mode is where friendships actually end btw you get a secret objective to sabotage the mission and now your trying to act completely normal while quietly flooding the ballast tanks or putting stuff in the medical supplies lmao. "Why is the reactor being weird" idk man thats crazy have you tried turning it off and on. Then someone catches you and its just I KNEW IT I KNEW IT WAS YOU in voice chat while the sub goes down. Everytime Ngl it can be frustating sometimes like youll spend 40 minutes on a run and someone floods everything because they welded the wrong pipe or some creature just oneshots the hull and your sitting there watching water pour in knowing theres nothing anyone can do anymore. But then next round something so stupid happens everyones just dying laughing and you forget all about it thats basically the whole gameplay loop lol frustration into chaos into laughing into queuing again Devs actually keep updating it too which is rare honestly and modding support is crazy, the sub editor lets you build whatever and workshop has some absolutely wild stuff on it. Game just keeps getting better somehow 8/10 spent most of my time either drowning fixing leaks or getting poisoned by my own medic and i wouldnt change any of it honestly

> Built unstable nuclear bomb > Put that in a railgun > We forgot about it > After sometime, the bomb exploded by itself after degrading > We were fighting 2 Murlocks when this happened > The submarine started falling and stopped on top of a volcano > Everybody just died at the end. > I love this game.
