About Waterline

The oceans are gone and the air is thin. Fly across a dying planet to fight your way from the dust of dry seabeds to the orbital station overhead.

More Waterline Details

Earth's magnetic field failed a long time ago. The solar wind has been peeling the atmosphere away ever since, and the water went with it, boiled off into space. What's left is a world of exposed seabeds, salt basins and mountain ranges that used to be coastline.

You have a ship, and nowhere to be.

Description

Built on real Earth elevation and seabed data, Waterline takes the sprawl of a classic space sim and folds it onto a single world.
