If you’re a fan of city builders, this one’s for you - but with an ocean twist… Kasedo Games are teaming up with Megapop, the talented studio behind Life Below, to bring an underwater city-builder to life.

In Life Below, you’re not building cities.. You’re building reefs. Think chill strategy meets underwater eco-restoration. Grow coral, attract sea creatures and evolve entire underwater ecosystems to survive the ever-changing ocean.

You play as Thalassa, a guardian of the deep, bringing life back into the oceans. You’ll grow and expand your reef, craft habitats, lure wildlife and tackle a range of ocean hazards.

We’re thrilled to have Rhianna Pratchett on board, bringing her incredible storytelling to this narrative-driven reef builder. Life Below also aims to be accessible to all, developed with accessibility consultant Arevya and the charity SpecialEffect, who are helping us shape features that make a real impact.

Life Below will be making a splash on Windows PC next year, but you won’t have to wait that long to test the waters! Try the demo on World Ocean Day (8 June) and during Steam Next Fest (9-16 June).
