After a catastrophic event involving meteor showers, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels, the world is submerged. Ocean New Era casts you as a survivor, tasked with building and thriving in this flooded world. Starting with a derelict raft, you'll construct a sustainable home on the ocean's surface.
Your journey involves upgrading vital systems, such as water purifiers, and expanding your raft by connecting salvaged structures. You'll establish efficient resource production chains, venturing underwater to discover remnants of the old world and crucial materials. The key to survival lies in creating a self-sufficient and robust haven.
Meteor shower remnants – mysterious crystals – provide the technological foundation for this new era. These crystals unlock advancements in seawater purification, miniature energy sources, and protective energy shields, enabling human survival and progress in this aquatic environment.
Freshwater is a precious commodity. Your seawater purifier, powered by crystal technology, is your primary source. However, expansion, population growth, and unforeseen events like heat waves constantly challenge your freshwater reserves, demanding efficient management.
Your initial raft is small, requiring expansion using salvaged logs and crafted planks. As you expand, you'll discover additional rafts containing various buildings, each offering unique functionalities. These could include animal shelters (otters for logging, pelicans for fishing, penguins for transportation, beavers for sawing, and cats for cooking), processing facilities, and even a bar to recruit skilled adventurers.
Animal companions play a vital role. Rescued animals offer valuable assistance, creating an automated resource gathering system. This automation frees you to focus on construction and exploration.
The submerged world holds both peril and reward. Underwater exploration, conducted through recruited adventurers, is necessary to obtain rare materials for upgrading your structures. These underwater expeditions offer glimpses into lost cities, encounters with marine life, and the discovery of untold secrets. The ocean depths present a blend of danger and opportunity in this fight for survival.
