Mouse cursor required in Interaction Mode.

Three years after a devastating crash, the story of the HMS Good Omens resurfaces.

Join a small recovery crew on an expedition to Omen's Rest, an infamous cove on the Martian Orange Sea where a once-luxurious cruise liner has permanently made itself a new resting place. The friends and families of its former passengers have offered to pay great sums should you come across any of their valuables, both sentimental and otherwise, on your journey. Be warned: the roughly-terraformed environment will be tough on even the highest quality deep sea gear, and you will need to keep an eye on your Air Meter to make sure you don't end up like the rest of the ship. Delve into the decaying halls of the ship and make enough back from returning cherished items to gain access to the furthest reaches of the ship's interior.  If you keep your wits about you, you may be able to spot something of your own interest...

How to play

Explore the ship from the entrance point your team has picked, and keep a mental note of this location so that you can find your way back.  On your journey, keep an eye out and listen for items that hold sentimental value to the crew.

When low on air, return to the entrance to refill your air tank.  You can also use your funds from item bounties to buy upgrades for the more perilous aspects of your journey, from glowsticks that will mark your path in green light to an upgraded suit filter that can maintain safe pressure for 2-4x times as long.

To interact with items, flip into Interact Mode with the right mouse button and use your mouse cursor to click on objects.
