Waterline

Space sim on a dry Earth

Waterline is a PC space sim set on Earth long after its magnetic field failed. Solar wind has stripped away the atmosphere, and the planet’s water has boiled off, leaving exposed seabeds, salt basins and former coastlines. You fly a ship across this altered world, taking work or pursuing your own goals.

The map covers Scandinavia and Europe through Africa to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It’s built from real-world elevation and ocean-floor survey data, and you can land anywhere. Ships handle differently according to their individual physics.
