All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Gaia is calling! Our upcoming playtest for Life Below goes live on February 9th, and anyone can sign up for a chance to dive in early and help guide the game’s development.

Whether you’re here for a challenge or a calm, creative reef-building experience, there’s something waiting for you beneath the waves.

Looking for a challenge?

  • Face new, unseen events and hazards as your reef expands

  • Adapt to the unknown and the mysterious inhabitants lurking beneath the depths

  • Study advanced corals and growths to tame the ocean and create the foundation for a resilient reef

Prefer a calmer experience?

  • Discover many new fish and wildlife as you explore

  • Build across diverse new environments and house your marine life

  • Encounter more positive events to help you along the way

  • Learn more about Thalassa and her grumpy guide Pontus as they uncover what caused parts of the reef to fall into ruin

While you wait, be sure to join our Discord server to get more updates, share feedback, and to chat to the dev team at Megapop!

Request access to the playtest directly on the Life Below Steam page. 

With less than two weeks to go, don’t miss your chance to be a part of this next chapter.

We can’t wait to see you dive in.
