Head to Steam now to join the open beta!

The development team behind the dark and charming Roguelike game Goodbye Volcano High brings you a brand-new title just in time for Halloween! Nautus is a quirky island and underwater co-op adventure game that blends warmth with eeriness, now available in open beta.

When you arrive at the remote N.A.U.T.U.S. research station, you are surprised to find that the scientists there have developed an intense, inexplicable fear of the ocean. Now, you must team up with friends to pilot an upgradeable submarine, battling mutated creatures beneath the waves while building your own tropical island base on land. But don't be fooled by this beautiful little island—mysterious forces lurk in the deep sea, and only you can uncover the truth behind them!

At today's Galaxies Showcase, Arc Games and Magic Design Studios惊喜announced that the Nautus open beta is now live. Players can now embark on the journey alone or form a four-player squad with up to three friends to experience the game's unique dual-layer surface and underwater gameplay and progression loop: explore diverse regions, meet eccentric island NPCs, and take on a series of thrilling missions.
