KATAVATIS is a first-person metroidbrainia about descending into W.A.R.P., an abandoned deep-sea facility built as a last resort to save our dying planet.
Earth Is Being Abandoned
They told us climate collapse was a lie. They told us the extreme temperatures were natural. They told us the air becoming toxic was manageable. When the crops failed, they told us the market would adapt.
Every year broke another record. Hotter summers. Colder winters. Floods and earthquakes everywhere.
Climate alarmists were wrong, until they weren't. Now humanity is fleeing to the Mars colonies. Earth is toast.
Something Weird Happened
One month ago, your partner Ariadna sent a cryptic message from inside W.A.R.P.
She said the governments were pulling funding.
She said the research was being shut down.
She said something was being hidden.
Then she disappeared.
Explore, Repair, Uncover the Truth
W.A.R.P. has been condemned. Its doors are sealed by pressure systems. Its lower decks are flooded. Its power grid is unstable. To go deeper, you will need to understand how the facility works and bring its systems back online.
Explore a dense, interconnected underwater facility.
Manipulate power, water, pressure, and access systems.
Progress through observation, experimentation, and knowledge.
Discover what Ariadna found before W.A.R.P. went silent.
Give Earth one last chance.
Save Ariadna. Save the World.
