Hydrophobia is set in the near future when the world has become massively over-populated, and takes place onboard the “Queen of the World”, a city sized ship which sails the globe and is home to the wealthy elite.
As systems engineer Kate Wilson, you must use every tool at your disposal to survive and escape the flooding lower decks of the great vessel. An epic back story reveals the rise of Malthusian politics as all eyes look to NanoCell, one of the Founding Fathers of the great vessel, who has vowed to develop the technology which will feed the burgeoning human population.
Unique “flow combat” delivers incredible emergent
gameplay unlike anything you have experienced before.
• Unleash the flow to wipe out enemies
• Combine floating oil fires, electricity and Hydro
Engine water to devastating effect
• Engage the enemy above and below the waves
seamlessly
• Utilize Kate’s flexy-screen MAVI (Mobile Automated
Visual Interface) to outwit the dynamic AI
About the Developer
Hydrophobia is the first game developed using Dark Energy’s revolutionary HydroEngine technology – the world’s first true fluid dynamics engine for games which models flowing water that behaves realistically, resulting in the most dynamic and dramatic game play you’ve ever seen. Hydrophobia has been developed using Dark Energy Digital’s own InfiniteWorlds game creation system, which uses custom-made procedural technology. This allows for a AAA quality gaming experience at a tiny fraction of the usual file size, pushing the boundaries for downloadable games.
