Long Dives

A Journey to the Ocean's Depths: Long Dives

In Long Dives, a rich incremental game designed for PC, players navigate the dark waters of the ocean floor in search of resources and treasures. Starting with a modest generator in the illuminated Shallows, you’ll build energy, minerals, and biomass to venture deeper into the abyss. Your mission? Collect wealth from the depths while confronting the challenges found in ten unique underwater zones, each more dangerous and rewarding than the last.

Exploration and Expansions in the Abyss

As you progress deeper, you'll establish outposts that can be reset for permanent pearl upgrades. This cyclical approach allows for a balancing act between exploration and enhancement. The deeper you dive, the more ambitious your outpost becomes. Faced with the allure of the Dark, the Hadal Zone, and the Rift, every descent teases new opportunities and challenges, driving players to unlock the mysteries hidden below.

Automation to Streamline Your Underwater Empire

Automation plays a pivotal role in Long Dives. You can activate the Procurement Daemon and let it handle purchasing, building, and balancing resources for you. This means that your efforts in the depths allow you to focus on strategizing without the constant grind. Additionally, players can auto-sell surplus resources, optimizing their gains and keeping the economy of their outpost thriving while deep below the surface.

Venture Off the Beaten Path with Expeditions

Send your submarine on expeditions to encounter unforeseen challenges. These ventures aren’t just about diving; they involve rescuing stranded haulers, fulfilling contracts, and racing against time on urgent orders. The game encourages adventure, as each mission brings the potential for discovery and rewards, enhancing your capacity to delve deeper into the abyss in subsequent dives.

Thrive on Challenge Dives and Rare Treasures

For players seeking an extra layer of difficulty, challenge dives introduce strict conditions like Cold Dark and Silent Running. These missions require you to adapt quickly as you recover hidden treasures and navigate through perilous environments. With 27 treasures scattered throughout the depths, players will need skill and tenacity to claim them all, while weathering unpredictable events that test your mettle.

Multiple Prestige Layers: Ascend for Greater Rewards

The three layers of prestige in Long Dives create a compelling narrative structure where each reset opens up new depths and buildings. Each phase entails diving to reset your outpost or ascending through the Rift for a deeper dive experience. Players are encouraged to form Covenants with the ocean’s depths, bending gameplay rules and diving deeper into the story, uncovering layers filled with lore, archive clues, and enigmatic signals that hint at larger narratives.

Achievements That Keep Players Coming Back

Achievement hunters will find plenty to pursue, with a total of 50 achievements to unlock, including three secret ones. Each achievement reflects progress, showcasing not just the goals achieved but the unique stories woven throughout your underwater adventures. Whether completing challenges, discovering treasures, or optimizing your outpost, every accomplishment in Long Dives adds to the overall sense of progression.
