Life Below is an indie simulation and strategy game from Megapop. Players restore dying coral reefs and underwater ecosystems by building vibrant havens on the ocean floor. Over 40 different wildlife species can be attracted to these restored areas. The game includes a campaign mode following Thalassa's story and a freeplay mode for continued challenges. The narrative was written by Rhianna Pratchett.Gameplay centers on resurrecting entire ecosystems through strategic coral crafting and management, utilizing energy-channeling coral and resource-generating seashells. Players must cater to the needs of wildlife and protect them from threats like algae levels, pH balance issues, and environmental disasters such as oil spills and garbage patches. Each ocean floor zone presents unique challenges, including temperature and acidity fluctuations, requiring players to adapt their strategies to expand territory and restore the reef.
