Description

In Abyssal Line, you are an oceanographer seeking to cultivate interest in the wonders of the ocean's depths while studying its creatures. To better pursue these goals, you have become the captain of a deep-sea sightseeing vessel. Your passengers expect exciting encounters with mysterious creatures at the bottom of the sea; ensure they have an enjoyable trip, and their satisfaction will increase.

However, navigating the darkest depths of the ocean is no easy feat. You need to seek inspiration from the creatures that dwell there in order to upgrade your ship's equipment. Doing so will make it easier for you to sail your plotted course.

You also want to publish your findings as you expand your knowledge of deep sea creatures while piloting your vessel.

Will you be able to overcome the adversities of the abyss and gain prestige as both deep sea captain and oceanographer?

しかし、暗くて深い海の中での操船は容易いことではありません。
深海生物の特性をヒントに遊覧船の設備を改良することで
思い描いた航路を実現しやすくなるでしょう。

そして、遊覧船の運航中に得た深海生物の知識を元に研究発表を行うことも海洋学者として重要です。
