Kasedo Games and Norwegian studio Megapop are exploring new territory with Life Below, an innovative underwater city-builder launching on PC via Steam in 2026. Unlike typical city-builders that focus on urban landscapes, this game lets you craft coral reefs, mixing relaxed strategy with eco-restoration.
In Life Below, you play as Thalassa, a guardian of the deep, working to revive the struggling oceans of a near-future Earth. The game challenges you to adapt to a changing ocean environment, facing hazards like pollution and climate shifts while boosting biodiversity. The narrative, writen by Rhianna Pratchett, known for Tomb Raider and Mirror’s Edge, adds heartfelt depth to the reef-building adventure.
Megapop has also teamed up with accessibility consultant Arevya and the UK charity SpecialEffect to create helpful features. With customizable controls and inclusive interface options, they’re working to make Life Below one of the most accessible city-builders yet.
