STOREGGA - Line War

STOREGGA is an underwater game for PC, set in the cold North-East Atlantic of 2071.

Ten billion people, and the land is full. Thirty million have moved below the sea, into habitats, stations and submarines. The sea was supposed to be empty. It is not. The Vael, a people of the deep known to humans only from old tales, have kept hidden for thousands of years. Now they stop hiding. They speak with whales, dolphins and sharks, and ride them as partners, never as pets.

Line War

It begins with Line War, an online team battle: humans against the Vael.

• Two ways to fight. Submarines fight with sonar, torpedoes and noise discipline. Vael riders fight with speed, depth and the senses of their animals.
• Sound is the battlefield. Density layers in the water bend sound. Ping and you are heard. Go quiet and you might not be found. Silence is a weapon.
• Fair by design. Every player gets the same purse each match. Real money never buys power.

What you can play now

STOREGGA is in pre-alpha. The playtest is Line War: submarines against Vael shark riders, online, in one small arena. It looks rough on purpose: what we need to know is how it plays. Expect bugs, unfinished art and unfinished sound.

The next build adds the Hunter, a grown Vael war-vessel bred from a shark, with its own living cockpit. The game updates itself when a new build is out.

How to join

1. Download and install the game here (Windows, about 780 MB, signed by CodingNexus LLC).
2. Sign up at storegga.org/playtest and confirm the e-mail. We open the playtest in waves; when yours opens, you get a personal tester token.
3. Start Steam, launch STOREGGA, and paste your token under Play → Join a match.

You need the token to play online. Treat it like a password and do not share it. Until STOREGGA has its own Steam app, Steam may show you as playing "Spacewar".

Data: to run the match list and balance the game, it sends match results, your Steam ID and Steam name, and basic facts about your PC such as the graphics card and frame rate. It never sends your e-mail address. Details: storegga.org/privacy.

After Line War

Line War is only the beginning. The Solo Campaign (offline) and Shared Seas (online) open the sea as an open world of habitats, trade routes and depth zones, in the spirit of the classic submarine trading games of the 1990s. Both come as free updates for everyone who owns the game. One-time purchase: no subscription, no pay-to-win.

System requirements (preliminary)

• Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
• A GeForce GTX 1650 class GPU with 4 GB VRAM, DirectX 12. No RTX card needed.
• A 6-core CPU (2019 or newer) and 8 GB RAM
• Steam running while you play, and an internet connection

Up front

• Anti-cheat: STOREGGA uses Easy Anti-Cheat, which runs in kernel mode.
• AI: the game is made by one developer with a lot of help from AI. AI agents write much of the code and help build the 3D models. Concept art and trailer music come from generative AI and are labelled as such. Every design decision is the developer's.
