About
A first-person survival action–adventure where you sail, scavenge, and rebuild in an endless ocean world. Recover lost technology, craft vital systems, and ensure humanity’s future—before it’s too late.
You are the Last Caretaker, a lone machine reawakened after centuries of silence. The Earth is flooded, its towering megastructures rusting under an endless sky. The Seed Vaults remain, containing the last human seeds—waiting to be born. Your mission is clear: recover the seeds, reactivate the Lazarus Complex, and launch the last of humanity to the stars.
But the world is not as empty as it seems. Machines still whisper old protocols, relics of the past still move with purpose, and your every step brings you closer to uncovering the meaning of your existence.
Key Features
- Explore – Sail across a vast open-world ocean, navigating through the remains of a forgotten civilization. From towering megastructures and flickering beacons to abandoned seed vaults and fuel stations, every location holds lost knowledge, vital resources, and pieces of a mystery waiting to be uncovered.
- Create – Scavenge and restore ancient technology, craft modular upgrades, and reactivate vital systems to rebuild MOSES infrastructure. Each innovation brings humanity closer to survival, from reviving power grids to reconstructing launch systems.
- Nurture – The Lazarus Complex is the last human sanctuary. Monitor and optimize the delicate process of human seed growth, balancing power, nutrition, and memory reconstruction. Every launch to the stars brings humanity one step closer to a future beyond the ocean.
- Survive – The ocean is beautiful—but it is not safe. Rogue machines, brutal storms, and limited resources challenge your mission at every turn. Adapt, upgrade, and fight to protect what little remains.
- Discover – You are not human, yet you hold their future in your hands. What does it mean to be human? Can life be reborn through synthetic hands? As you explore, you will uncover the last days of Earth—and the truth behind your existence.
