“The endless depths of the water’s beckoning lure.”

****

A Natural Beauty That Runs Deep Beneath Its Surface.

A sunken water moon unlike any other. Will you brave the wrath of Silverback Bay and find what lies beneath?

[SPOILER WARNING]

The following description is a spoiler for what to expect on your travels to Coralation.

I highly recommend experiencing the moon for the first time before reading about it below, but then again I'm just a warning sign on a Readme, it’s not like I can do much to stop you.

[SPOILERS!]

“A flowering grave that drowns out what will never be found.”

Moon: [ CORALATION ]

A majestic underwater moon that takes place in Silverback Bay, one of the few sandbar islands that hasn’t been taken by the sea. Unlike its sister moon Liquidation, Coralation was protected by a wide variety of laws set by the ITDA for the purpose of environmental protection. Rumors spread that secretive government research was conducted here within large underground bunkers… But no trace was left behind, and every ounce of documents were destroyed beneath the tumbling waves.

• PRICE - 1400 Credits
• MAP SIZE MULTIPLIER - 1.6x
• WEATHERS - Clear, Stormy, Eclipsed
• MOST COMMON ENTITY - Old Gull

[ FEATURES ]

Underwater Landing* - The ship routes itself into the ocean, with many of the moon’s visuals and mechanics reminiscent of a vibrant & luscious underwater environment.

Sinking Feeling* - While the player cannot drown here thanks to the water’s high oxygen content, audio and speech outdoors becomes garbled and confusing, making the water somewhere that players cannot communicate within.

The Gull’s Call* - A new variation of a threat you’ve faced before rears its rusted steel head. Beware of the Old Gull’s cries, for its hook is primed.

Familiar Face* - Almost all of the moon’s statistics such as enemy spawn-weights, interior size, scrap spawn-weights and more are based directly off of Liquidation, its sister moon, with some slight balancing tweaks and v80 enemy additions.
