In Sonar & Silence you are faced with the challenge of exploring the ocean, identifying objects and fighting enemies whilst only "seeing" the environment through a noisy sonar screen.

Sonar

The submarine's sonar is your main sensor that provides a visual representation of your surrounding. Modulate its frequency to reaveal objects that are only visible at certain frequencies.

Identifying objects in the water

Sunken shipswrecks cast a different signal on your sonar than a naval mine but you should be sure which is which before taking a close look. To identify objects, your ship is equipped with various sensors that can be upgraded for increasingly more precise measurements.

Stealth

Sonar & Silence includes a strong and intuitive stealth system. High stealth allows you to spy on enemies while hiding in plain sight and makes it harder to be detected in general. However, be uncareful and you might accidentally reveal your location while traversing highly dangerous enemy controlled waters.

Upgrades

The round-based gameplay allows you to upgrade and purchase new submarines after each dive. Upgrades require resources, such as iron, copper, and uranium that can be mined in-game. Collecting intelligence during covert operations might help locating lucarative resource fields.
