The game

Hold the station. Descend into the Deep.

Breakwater Station sits on a concrete quay at the edge of a storm. Below it lies a flooded research facility, and the Black Tide, organised amphibious raiders, are mining something down there. Tune the receiver to 104.7, hold the line wave after wave, and find out who is really on the other end of the signal.

01 · DEFEND

A station you learn by heart

The station is your safe hub between runs. Learn its rooms, upgrade it and hold it when the tide comes in.

02 · DESCEND

The Deep changes every wave

Each descent is assembled from hand-built spaces with cover, flanks and a way back. Death ends the run.

03 · TOGETHER

Alone or with friends

Play solo or in co-op with up to four players. The host's game runs the session and friends join it directly.

104.7

The radio is your lifeline

Every run starts and ends at the receiver. Call for help, hold the mic while the tide rises, and listen closely: not every voice on the band is telling the truth.

The Black Tide

They come out of the water

Rushers, shooters, shieldbearers and divers each fight differently, and they come for the station together. Read them, pick your ground and make every magazine count.
