ABOUT THE GAME

Wolves howl and the sky is afire

Steel yourself for a slow burn pseudo-historical puzzle-adventure that'll take you back, down, and more than a little out there. 

As the new Spook on HMS Solbrand you set out in a small marine research vessel in search of sunken spoils and glimmering truths. Your predecessor? Gone. Missing? Cap is tight-lipped and says not to worry, but when the tether snaps and leaves you trapped on the ocean floor you struggle to abide. Money's scarce and spare parts expensive, so if you want up you'll need something to put on the scales. Something heavy.

Explore a detailed map of sunken Ullarakir, a reimagined version of Uppsala, Sweden; steeped in grand norse myth and quiet local legend, and churned through the blender of sci-fi cosmic horror. The Wingnut asylum, the Botanical Gardens, Imperfektum, the Blackened Cathedral, and the Old Observatory are just some of the places yearning to be explored.

Use your Visir to probe and investigate ruins buried deep in the seafloor sediment. Studying the environment from different perspectives is crucial to piece together a full picture of events; top-down when you want the lay of the land, first-person when you need to get in real close.

Discover and collect intriguing historical fragments, and study them in exquisite detail within your vessel's archive. Test your wits against their secrets to learn more about the past, strengthening your signal and revealing new areas to explore.

The crew aboard the Solbrand support you from the surface; the Captain, Tinker, Worder and Shimmer all have unique insights, personalities and perspectives to explore.
