In 'Nautical Nexus', you play a determined marine ecologist who has just secured a grant to explore the newly-discovered Clarion-Clipperton Zone. Rumors of 'dark oxygen' and mysterious electronic signals emanating from the depths have drawn both scientific curiosity and corporate greed. During your immersive underwater voyage, you'll face ethical dilemmas, debate with fellow scientists, and uncover the truth behind how these polymetallic nodules could challenge everything we know about the origins of life on Earth. Navigate through environmental politics, corporate conspiracies, and the dark, twisting depths of the ocean, all while making choices that impact your crew, your findings, and the future of deep-sea exploration.
