Introduction

The land has been covered with ice,
forcing mankind to take refuge in the ocean.
Years have passed, but the all-consuming
ice moves slowly but steadily on,
and civilization has fallen into decay.

One lone survivor lives on in solitude.
Desolate days lead into aimless nights, and the Aquanaut passes the time in rote repetition.
But one day, a chance encounter leads to the discovery of a mysterious drone-like machine.

That meeting will lead them both deeper
into a vast undersea world.

"What happened to the world above?"
"Are there others out there?"
"What secrets lie at the bottom of the ocean?"

Venture deeper as you seek answer to
these and other questions whose
answers may lie down below.

The undersea world that awaits is both beautiful and terrible. Encounter sea creatures,
brave mounting water pressure, and conserve oxygen as you press on into the undersea ruins, seeking the truth.

Gameplay

Take control of the Aquanaut and explore
an expansive undersea world,
plunging ever downwards.
Early in your journey you'll encounter
the mysterious Drone, which will aid
you in your adventure.

Danger comes in many forms in the ocean.
You must always keep one eye on the water pressure gauge, and another on your oxygen levels.
Exceeding your suit's maximum pressure will damage both the suit and your air tanks, and running out of oxygen will bring a premature end to your underwater journey.
You can excavate crystals and use them to craft useful tools or improve your suit and weapons, opening up new areas to explore.
Rely upon your skills as the Aquanaut and use your equipment to seek out materials buried deep within the ocean depths.

The Submarine

game image
As you journey beneath the waves, you'll eventually gain access to a still-functioning submarine, which will serve as both a mode of transportation and a home base during your travels.
It's fully equipped with a headlight, sonar, and a giant drill, making it an excellent craft for undersea exploration.
What's more, it even comes with an oxygen-supplying tether. While your suit is attached to this tether, your air tanks will refill constantly. Its length is limited, however, so you'll often need to steel your courage and leave its reassuring safety behind...

Fantastic Creatures

game image
game image
The world beneath the waves isn't entirely natural; there are all manner of man-made structures and relics of ages past sleeping on the ocean floor.
Throughout your adventure you'll cross paths with many creatures that have made these things their home. In their eyes, you are an invader, against whom they have no choice but to fight to protect their territory.
Some of the creatures you will encounter are massive and terrifying, so you'll need to keep your wits about you, using your tools and your cunning to survive.
game image
The curious creatures you encounter are catalogued in the game's Encyclopedia.
You'll have to be thorough in your explorations if you want to find them all and learn the secrets of this ocean world... But that's part of the fun, isn't it?

Another Dive

game image
game image
This time trial will test the skills you developed in the main game to their limits!
This mode presents even tougher challenges than those found in the main game,
and it's a race against time as you fight past them, working your way down to the ocean floor.
Use the techniques honed in your voyage as you search for hidden items and weapons,
and use them to defeat any that would stand against you as you strive to set a new diving record.
If that's not enough, an even less forgiving Hardcore Mode is unlocked after completing Another Dive!

Jukebox Mode

game image
This jukebox allows you to listen to the music from the game at any time,
and even overlay it with a number of additional effects taken from the game.
Take your favorite Shinsekai song and listen to it as though you were underwater,
and adjust the depth and see how it changes; then emerge into an undersea cave
and hear it echo from the cavern walls.
We hope you enjoy exploring the music of Shinsekai in this unprecedented way.
High-quality "underwater" sound comes
to life when using wired headphones

In pursuit of offering the highest quality sound experience possible, our team uses real sounds recorded in person, such as that of thick, creaking ice recorded in deeply frozen lakes. We also collaborated with musical artists to bring the thrilling world of Shinsekai to life.
