A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

u2.2026.3.1

A game about the ocean. Take a submersible to the bottom of the ocean, the Challenger Deep.

This game takes a little while to play. It can take anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the choice of submersible you make. DSV Limiting Factor is the slower of the two, while the Deepsea Challenger is the fastest.

Made for World Ocean Day, June 8, 2025. https://worldoceanday.org/
