Fathom Station

Run a cozy research station on the ocean floor.

Science is the mission, tourism pays the bills, and the ocean occasionally springs a leak. Build tanks, labs and glass tunnels, send subs to find 54 adorable creatures, and dig all the way down to the Hadal Zone.

Everything a deep-sea station needs

Build it floor by floor

Display Tanks, Research Labs, Kelp Cafés, Glass Tunnels and whole-floor Grand Aquariums. Visitors ride the lift down and every floor fills a bubble of coins to pop.

54 creatures to love

From Lemon Clown Gobies to Cockatoo Squid, Harp Sponges and ghostly Sea Lilies. The deeper you dive, the stranger your neighbours get.

Sub trips & postcards

Send subs exploring while you're away. They come home with postcards and new species. Then the big question: study it in a lab, or show it off?

Gentle emergencies

Hammer a leak, scrub algae off the glass, prime an O₂ pump or sweep up a boba spill. Fix it yourself for free, or pay the crew.

Cave Run

Pilot a tiny RC sub through glowing deep-sea caves, dodge the jellies and grab glow orbs for a coin bonus across the whole station.

The Midnight Zone floors of a station

Dive 11,000 m deep

Five zones, from the Sunlit shallows to the Hadal trench. Every pressure hull opens new creatures and new upgrades, and the Bedrock Annex keeps going after that.

Questions from the surface

How much does it cost?

Fathom Station is free to download and play. There are optional pearl packs and cosmetics (room themes, sub liveries, hats), plus optional rewarded videos you can watch for a speed-up or a few pearls. There are no forced ads.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. It's played in portrait, one-handed.

Does my station keep going while I'm away?

Yes. Rooms keep earning and subs keep exploring for up to 12 hours while the app is closed, and Director Finch has a little gift waiting when you come back each day.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. The game plays offline. A connection is only used for optional ads, purchases and anonymous gameplay stats.

Is there an account or cloud save?

No account is needed. Your station is saved on your device. Purchases can be restored from the Shop.

Something went wrong. How do I get help?

Have a look at the help page or email justanerdgaming@proton.me. We read everything.
