Nautus: Echoes from Below Announced for PC

Magic Design Studios, known for their 2022 hit Have a Nice Death, has unveiled their latest creation called Nautus: Echoes from Below. This game is a unique double-sided exploration experience set on an island and its underwater depths. On the surface, the atmosphere is calm and inviting, yet when you dive below the waves in your customizable submarine, the mystery deepens. You can play Nautus solo or with up to three friends in co-op mode, and it's currently in development for PC.

The game kicks off after receiving a chilling radio message from your uncle, who has since disappeared. Upon arriving at the isolated N.A.U.T.U.S. research station, you discover that the scientists there have lost all their memories and are now afraid of the ocean. As the only person willing to venture into the unknown, you must pilot your upgradeable submarine, confront mutated sea creatures, and recover hidden artifacts to restore the scientists' memories and unravel the truth behind the mysterious events.

In Nautus: Echoes from Below, you'll be crafting items, managing resources, and exploring both the island and its ocean depths. You'll also befriend the island's inhabitants, search for ancient relics, and assist your missing uncle in recovering his lost memories. The game promises a rich, immersive experience with a focus on crafting, resource management, and submarine piloting.

Nautus is slated for a Steam Early Access release in 2027, so mark your calendars and wishlist it on Steam if you're interested in this underwater adventure.
