What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Subsurface is releasing in Early Access to involve the community in its development while the core gameplay experience continues to grow. The current version provides a fully playable co-op experience, but additional content, features, maps, monsters, quality-of-life improvements, balancing, and polish are planned throughout development. Community feedback will help shape future updates and ensure the best possible full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I currently expect Subsurface to remain in Early Access for approximately 12 months. This timeline may change depending on community feedback and development progress. Our goal is to use this time to expand the game with additional content, improve existing systems, polish the overall experience, and ensure the best possible full release.”

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

“The Early Access version provides the core Subsurface experience, including online co-op gameplay, multiple environments, monsters, progression, and the core gameplay loop. During Early Access, I plan to expand the game with additional maps, monsters, items, objectives, gameplay features, quality-of-life improvements, balancing, performance optimizations, bug fixes, and overall polish. Community feedback will help determine which features and improvements are prioritized throughout development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes the core Subsurface experience with online co-op gameplay, multiple playable environments, unique monsters, progression, objectives, proximity voice chat, and the core gameplay loop. While the game is fully playable, players may encounter bugs, balancing issues, and unfinished features as development continues. I will continue improving stability, expanding content, and refining the overall experience throughout Early Access.”

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

“I plan to offer Subsurface at a lower price during Early Access. As the game grows with additional content, features, and polish, I may increase the price when it reaches full release to reflect the expanded experience.”

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

“Community feedback will play an important role throughout Early Access. I plan to actively listen to player feedback, bug reports, and suggestions to help prioritize improvements, balance gameplay, fix issues, and guide future updates. My goal is to make Subsurface a better experience by working closely with the community as development continues.”

About This Game

SUBSURFACE

The deeper you go, the less likely you are to return.

Descend into the unknown in Subsurface, a 1–4 player co-op underwater horror game where every dive could be your last.

You and your crew are sent into abandoned underwater facilities to recover valuable scrap and meet an ever-growing quota. But you're not alone down there. Something lurks in the darkness, oxygen is running out, and not everyone is guaranteed to make it back.

Work together, take risks, and get out before it's too late.

🌊 EXPLORE THE DEPTHS

Venture into eerie underwater facilities filled with valuable loot, dark corridors, and deadly surprises. Each dive brings new opportunities to earn money, but staying too long could cost you everything.

👹 EIGHT TERRIFYING MONSTERS

You're not alone beneath the surface. Encounter eight dangerous creatures, each with unique behaviors and ways of hunting. Learn their patterns, adapt your strategy, and pray you don't run into the wrong one.

🤝 SURVIVE WITH FRIENDS

Team up with up to three friends or brave the depths alone. Communicate using proximity voice chat, stick together, and try not to panic when something starts chasing your crew.

Just remember: nobody said you had to save your teammates.

⏱️ EVERY SECOND COUNTS

Oxygen is limited, and the quota isn't going to meet itself. Decide whether to push deeper for more valuable scrap or return to safety with what you've collected.

One greedy decision could turn a successful dive into a disaster.

🎰 RISK IT ALL

Feeling lucky? Take your hard-earned loot to the roulette wheel for a chance to multiply your winnings. Walk away with more than you came with, or lose everything in seconds.

🎨 MAKE YOUR DIVER YOUR OWN

Stand out from your crew with customizable diving suits, visors, and hats. Whether you're exploring the depths in professional diving gear or wearing something completely ridiculous, at least you'll look good doing it.

📋 DAILY MISSIONS

Take on daily challenges to earn additional rewards while exploring, collecting loot, and completing dives.

WILL YOU MAKE IT BACK TO THE SURFACE?

The facilities are abandoned for a reason.

The monsters are waiting.

And your oxygen is running low.

Grab your crew. Meet the quota. Survive the depths.
