Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our game is in Early Access because it's still growing, and we want players to be part of that journey. This phase allows us to collect valuable feedback, experiment with new ideas, and shape the game based on real player experiences. By doing so, we can refine and enhance the game for its full release while also fostering a strong community and ensuring the resources needed for development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is expected to remain in Early Access for approximately six months, though this timeline may change. Throughout this period, our main goal is to enhance the game by introducing new features, refining gameplay, and incorporating player feedback. We're committed to delivering a polished and enjoyable experience at full release, and player support during this phase is invaluable as development progresses.”

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

“While nothing is set in stone, our current plan includes exploring a variety of new features and expansions to enrich the game’s experience. Some of the ideas being considered include additional creatures, a town environment, greater ship variety, more items, underwater exploration, open-sea travel, dynamic weather conditions, and expanded customization options for the shop. These possibilities are aimed at deepening immersion, expanding gameplay variety, and providing players with more meaningful choices. As development progresses, we will evaluate and refine these ideas based on feasibility, player feedback, and the overall vision for the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is expected to include core gameplay elements such as cleaning, repairing, market management, and some horror-themed mechanics. These features will form the foundation of the experience, providing players with a mix of strategic decision-making and atmospheric gameplay. However, as development progresses, these elements may be refined, expanded, or adjusted based on player feedback and the evolving vision of the game. Our goal is to ensure a balanced and engaging experience while remaining flexible to improvements and new ideas.”

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

“We currently have no plans to change the price of the game during its Early Access period. Our goal is to provide players with a fair and consistent pricing model while we continue to develop and refine the experience. However, as we approach the full release, we may reassess the cost to reflect the improvements, additional content, and overall value the game has gained throughout Early Access. Any potential adjustments will be carefully considered, with transparency and player expectations in mind.”

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

“While there are no absolute certainties in game development, our intention is to share a detailed roadmap that outlines multiple branching paths for future content and features. This roadmap will serve as a flexible framework rather than a rigid plan, allowing for adjustments based on player feedback and evolving priorities. By engaging the community in this way, we aim to create a more dynamic and player-driven development process, where reviews, suggestions, and discussions actively influence which directions the game takes. Our goal is to ensure that players have a meaningful role in shaping the game’s journey, making it a truly collaborative experience.”

About This Game

Ship Repair Business, But Lovecraftian

Sunken Engine is a ship repair simulation game with a distinctive Lovecraftian atmosphere. After your father’s untimely death, you must keep the business you inherited alive. This means not only repairing ships but also keeping customers satisfied, maintaining the town’s order, and uncovering the mysteries your father left behind. Yet every new ship brings new challenges and ominous secrets.

Dark Horror and Sanity

The supernatural events you face during daily work will threaten your sanity. Losing your mental balance not only makes your job harder but may also attract the attention of dark entities. To survive, you must find ways to protect your mind, continue your work, and keep your wits if you wish to discover your father’s true legacy.

Sunken Ship’s Goods

Repairing is not the only way to sustain your business. You can sell valuable loot recovered from the sea at the stall behind your shop. The economy is difficult for everyone in town; you must care for your family while keeping the business alive. Sometimes, this means stepping beyond conventional ways to earn profit.

Repair the Ships

Your town is located in the middle of a busy sea route. Ships of various sizes and types dock for repairs, and it is your duty to meet the captains’ needs. Fixing damages is vital not just for your business but for the safety of the entire region. Yet some repairs may require more than just your tools…

Customization and Progression

You can renovate and improve your shop as you wish. By customizing your tools, workspace, and decorations, you can impress customers and bring to life the workshop your father once dreamed of.

Ships and Licenses

As you progress, you’ll learn to repair more ships and, with new licenses, take on more complex work. Each license opens the door to new types of ships and new challenges. But remember: not every ship is just a repair job—some bring with them dark stories and sinister secrets. Be cautious…
