What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I highly value the feedback and opinions from my community and want to involve them as the game's development continues. Sunken Veins is developed by one person, and the feedback and fresh perspective from the community will help me create the best version of the game possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect Sunken Veins to be in early access for approximately a year as I add extra content and polish existing content.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add more content to the game including extra maps, an additional monster and lore documents. As well as more areas the player can explore outside of the main gameplay areas. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Sunken Veins has a core gameplay loop that is fully playable, numerous gameplay modifiers and Twitch integration.

There are two tutorial maps at the start of the game, and one core map that can be replayed with preset modifiers or custom modifiers of your choosing.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Once Sunken Veins leaves early access, the price will be increased to account for the extra content available. ”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I will be actively looking for feedback from the community through Discord, Steam discussions and YouTube/Twitch videos. ”

About This Game

Sunken Veins is a management horror game set on a flooding underwater coal mine. Your job is to mine for coal whilst dealing with overwhelming floods of water and avoiding creatures.

MINING

Operate a deep-sea mining drill to extract coal and scraps. Whilst mining, the facility builds heat, which increases the chances of causing a flood. Find the balance between gathering resources and keeping heat levels low.

DRAIN

Floods in the facility will cause you to lose power faster and also slow your movement. Large industrial drains will help you remove water and keep the water levels down.

MAINTAIN

A proactive approach can help you stay alive. Repair and reinforce ceiling vents. Fortify doors to stop water spreading. Whatever it takes.

ADAPTIVE CREATURES

You aren't alone. Predatory creatures have found their way into the mine after the company disrupted their home. They are smart, adaptive and very dangerous. How you play will influence the behaviours they use to hide, deceive and try to kill you.

TWITCH CHAT INTEGRATION

Connect your Twitch account to allow chat to influence the game. You can control which commands are available for chat to use, set cooldowns for them, and also set custom text prompts that triggers the commands. Some commands are helpful and some are disruptive. You can fully control which ones are available for your chat to use.
