A sandbox game by Unknown Worlds that combines elements of action-adventure productions and RPGs. As the game’s universe draws inspiration from such novels as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, at the bottom of the ocean you can find bizarre sea monsters, as well as remnants of futuristic buildings and ships. The player assumes the role of a captain of an advanced submarine, and explores the depths of the ocean. The game’s characteristic feature is the ability to design vessels and determine such things as performance, layout, on-board mechanisms, and materials used for the construction. You begin with rather primitive ships, but as you progress you will be able to construct more advanced vessels, and explore previously unavailable parts of the ocean. While playing, you can freely walk around your ship, and even go outside to explore the marine world on your own.

A science fiction horror adventure game created by Frictional Games, Swedish studio known for such titles as Amnesia: The Dark Descent and the Penumbra series. The game is set in a top-secret research center PATHOS-2, where a series of failed experiments resulted in human-like machines killing off most of the staff and taking over the facility. You play as one of the survivors, who has to safely evade the hostile, machine infested environment. Gameplay is presented in first-person perspective and focuses on exploration of the facility and avoiding direct contact with the enemies. Just as in the other works from this developer, instead of dynamic action sequences, the game emphasizes the thick, dark atmosphere and a persistent feeling of vulnerability.

The story of Diluvion takes place in the distant future, where an apocalyptic flood has forced humanity to colonize the ocean depths. The gameplay is focused around exploration of a marine world of a considerable size, completing various tasks, and combat with encountered opponents. Our travels often require the use of a sonar, which helps in navigating dark areas, as well as ranged weapons in the form of torpedoes or even cannons. We’ve also received access to a crew management module – throughout our journeys, the individual crew members gather experience, acquiring new skills over time. For example, an experienced coxswain offers better maneuverability, while a talented cannoneer is much more accurate.

Subsiege is an original blend of a real-time strategy and a MOBA game developed by the German studio Icebird. The game takes place in the second part of the 21st century, when almost all of the Earth's natural resources are depleted. The depths of seas are the last place where they can be found. This leads to a full-scale underwater war for those exact resources. Before we start, we have to chose a couple of ships from the available ones. We will be able to use and construct only them during the RTS matches. As we play, we will have to build special structures that will gather the resources and will have to lead a group of combat units to battle. Each ship has a limited amount of oxygen, so we will have to gather as much resources as possible before our crew members face asphyxiation. We can increase our oxygen supplies by gathering oxygen tanks from destroyed enemy ships. The game offers a multiplayer mode (both co-op and competitive) along with a single player campaign. The game's PvP world has a permanent nature and constantly changes as a result of players' actions.

A multiplayer-oriented strategy game created by a team of three programmers: Ron Carmel, Noel Llopis and Shane Nakamura. Subterfuge is set under the surface of seas, when colonies that have co-existed peacefully so far, begin fighting one another over an incredibly valuable resource known as Neptunium. The player's goal here is to achieve global domination. Each player controls their city-state and tries to gain the upper hand by moving their submarines. The game offers relatively unusual mechanics, because execution of plans based on the player's decision can take even several hours; the game goes on, while the player can be either taking care of something completely different or spending time talking to the other participants in order to make alliances, exchange information or, for instance, deceive them.
