If you’ve ever played BioShock, you’ll know just how wrong building an underwater city can go. Now, underwater city builder Surviving the Abyss asks what you would do differently in a Paradox base-building survival game tinged with Lovecraftian horror. The year is 1976, and you’ve been tasked with building a deep sea Cold War research facility attempting to experiment with new ways to weaponize genetics. As with the best city-building games, you’ll be exploring your surroundings for resources to help extend your base and further your research – but who knows what untold, eldritch horrors await in the darkness?
