A Home Below is a 3D underwater adventure game where you play as a hermit crab, exploring the ruins of a house lost to the sea.

Feel what it’s like to be a little hermit crab in the vastness of what was once a human home, now a vibrant underwater habitat. Ride currents, climb, and glide, finding your way from room to room in search of the perfect shell.

Discover a new world of wildlife. Make friends, hide from predators, and enlist help to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles. Along the way, you will slowly uncover the story of the family that once lived in the house, and what became of them.

A Home Below takes inspiration from short, moving adventure games like Journey and narrative games like Gone Home. This is combined with a unique underwater setting, a rich, heartwarming storyline, and interesting mechanics based on real-life hermit crab behaviours. A Home Below brings to life an imagined future informed by ecological research and climate projections, to create a touching, cinematic gaming experience.
