Deep Shelf

Deep Shelf is a deep-sea strategy game of exploration, resource extraction, technological development and research, set during a new underwater gold rush for rare earth metals.

Take control of a competing corporation and explore the ocean floor in search of valuable resource nodes. Develop extraction sites, transport materials back to the surface and invest in new technologies while pushing deeper into unexplored regions of the ocean.

How aggressively you exploit the seabed is up to you. Rapid expansion and heavy mining can generate enormous wealth, but excessive exploitation damages the surrounding ecosystem and can accelerate the end of the game. A more measured approach allows you to study rare lifeforms and pursue research opportunities instead.

Each faction offers its own strategic identity, encouraging players to build efficient resource engines, compete for control of key areas and unlock powerful technologies. With economic development, exploration, pick-up-and-deliver elements and environmental consequences all interacting, Deep Shelf offers a substantial strategy experience with multiple paths to victory.
