In three paragraphs

2071. Ten billion people, and the land is full. Thirty million have moved below the sea, into habitats, stations and submarines. The sea was supposed to be empty. It is not. The Vael, a people of the deep known to humans only from old tales, have kept hidden for thousands of years. Now they stop hiding. They speak with whales, dolphins and sharks and ride them as partners, never as pets.

Line War is the first release: an online team battle, humans against the Vael. Every player gets the same purse each match and spends it on a submarine or a bondmate, weapons and tools. Submarines fight with sonar, torpedoes and noise discipline; riders with speed, depth and the senses of their animals. Density layers in the water bend sound, and silence is a weapon.

Line War is only the beginning. The Solo Campaign opens a stylised North-East Atlantic as an open world you can play offline: choose to be human or Vael, take jobs, trade, refit your vessel, and let your choices shape one of six paths, in the spirit of the classic submarine trading games of the 1990s. Shared Seas then brings that world online: one living sea that every player's trades and jobs move, where you meet other players, fly with friends and form clans. Both come as free updates for everyone who owns the game.

We are making STOREGGA because the submarine trading games of the 1990s gave us something we have not found since: a sea you trade, fight and make a living in, where depth and silence matter. We want that feeling back, with today's technology and with other players.

Two ideas carry the design. Sound is gameplay: sonar, noise and the density layers of the sea, which bend sound, decide who finds whom, and silence is a weapon. And the sea holds two peoples who do not fight alike, humans in submarines and the Vael on the animals they are bonded with.

Line War comes first. The Solo Campaign and Shared Seas then open the sea as an open world, as free updates for everyone who owns the game.

We sell the game once. There is no subscription and no pay-to-win: every player in a Line War match gets the same purse, and real money never buys power. We say what is planned, and we say when it changes.

Storegga is Norwegian for "the great edge": the edge of Norway's continental shelf, where the shallow sea falls into the deep. Around 6200 BCE an undersea landslide there sent a tsunami across Doggerland, the land that once joined Britain to the continent. The game takes its name from this edge: the line between the shelf of the humans and the deep of the Vael.

The game plays in a stylised North-East Atlantic, from the drowned North Sea to the Norwegian Sea and the deep beyond the shelf edge. Depth is the main rule of this world: light, pressure and sound change on the way down, and every vessel and every animal has its limit.

STOREGGA is made by Coding Nexus LLC: one developer with a lot of help from AI, and freelancers for selected work. AI agents write much of the code and build the 3D models; the key and concept art come from image generation and the trailer music from music generation, and both are labelled as such. The idea, the world, the rules and every design decision are the developer's, and nothing goes into the game without review and tests.

We say this openly because we think a game made this way can still look good and be fun. Judge for yourself once the playtests open.
