Choose your strategy, obtain resources, build your futuristic city and prove no challenge is too hard.

In the not-too-distant future, the surface of the Earth became a barren wasteland, but groups of people refused to abandon hope. They embarked on a journey beneath the waves hoping to find a safe place and start anew. They find an amazing, surreal world full of danger and challenges and strive to find the needed resources to build a thriving underwater city.

The player is expected to seek out and secure available basic and advanced resources, manufacture what is required for life in the ocean depths and overcome unique dangers that lurk in this incredible environment.

The core mechanics of Aquatico are similar to the widely adopted standards of the city building genre. Hunt for basic resources, build structures for your citizens, then expand your underwater production chains to secure higher tier resources. At the same time it is important to keep in mind the needs of your people and tend to them as best as you can.

OverSeer Games announced that Aquatico is set to launch on January 19, 2023!

To celebrate the news, the development team is releasing a brand new public Steam Beta test beginning November 11th.

The Beta event will feature two unique scenarios for players, including a “fresh start” and brand new tutorial, or a ready built city to expand from. Players who dive in next week will also get to grips with all new features, ranging from Expeditions that allow you to send your inhabitants out into the depths of the ocean to scout and secure resources, to creating Dome connections that bridge the gap between the lower and upper levels. The Beta is also set to include pet systems, newly redesigned panels, a smart tips system and engine optimizations.

As a futuristic experience, expect to employ the help of drones, submarines, mechanized underwater robots and all sorts of varied technology adapted to the new environment.

Expeditions are a part of the sandbox game that encourage everyone to explore further and obtain multiple bonuses in case of successful endeavors.

Aquatico features a narrative segment where players are introduced to the fantastic underwater world, while achieving various story related goals at the same time.

Key Features:

• A survival city builder in a unique underwater environment
• Gather and produce resources by creating underwater production chains
• Build a submerged base and develop it into a thriving underwater city
• Unlock new technologies and buildings through a vast research tree
• Explore the mysteries of post-apocalyptic ocean depths

Aquatico is coming to PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) on January 19, 2023.
