Arc Games has opened registration for the NAUTUS closed beta, inviting players to test a cooperative underwater survival adventure. The game comes from Magic Design Studios, the team behind the action game Have a Nice Death.
Up to four players work together on a peaceful island, interacting with residents, upgrading submarines, building bases, and crafting supplies before venturing into the sea. The trailer shows colorful subs, cooperative play, and escapes from sea creatures far larger than the vessel.
