Deep Loot gameplay is largely about exploring the vast ocean, collecting artifacts, setting new records and completing challenges.
Every action consumes air so to reach the deepest depths and take on the toughest creatures you will need to manage your resources and upgrade equipment.
Each dive is different with the ocean being generated procedually on the fly. This means that you can explore for as long as your air will last and that no dive will ever be the same.
