You begin off on a platform over the ocean and you must see how far down you may construct earlier than you run out of factors. Every flip, you’re given two totally different schematics you may construct, and whoever has designed these constructions is de facto going out of their technique to problem the way you lay out this place. Every schematic has a wild form to it made out of squares that you must match into your current constructing and across the odd twists and turns of this undersea cave. Simply making this factor match whereas taking advantage of the house you could have will maintain your thoughts occupied.

That stated, ensuring this facility is a delightful form is the least of your worries (kinda). Every construction has a degree price, and should you run out of factors, you’re executed constructing. That stated, every schematic additionally has some guidelines about the way it works.
