- Ocean Keeper Co-op is NOW AVAILABLE! - 3 December 2025
Hey Guardians! Let's get to know each other – we are RetroStyle Games, a small but ambitious indie team from Ukraine. We are just at the beginning of our journey in game production, but we absolutely love what we do and the worlds we create. If you have been with us for a while, you probably know our first game, Ocean Keeper: Dome Survival. That game was about solitude – just you, your mech, and the oppressive silence of the ocean depths. But ever since we launched it, we had a nagging thought: "Wouldn't it be fun to share this silence with friends... and then completely ruin it with laughter?" So, we started dreaming. We dreamed of a game where you aren't just a lonely survivor, but part of a squad. A game where panic is shared, victories are louder, and mistakes are hilarious. Today, that dream becomes a reality. Ocean Keeper Co-op, our very first multiplayer project, is officially ou…

Hey Guardians! We’re super happy to be part of Steam Next Fest! Ocean Keeper Co-op is our first-ever co-op game and a continuation of the original Ocean Keeper. We’re still developing it, but our north star is simple: make it fun. We’d love you to try the demo, poke at the systems, and tell us what made you smile (or yell). Below we’ll quickly share what the game’s about – hopefully it hooks you enough to dive in. What’s the game?Ocean Keeper Co-op is a team roguelike built around a tight loop: dig → haul → level up → defend → repeat. You dive into caves packed with puzzles, anomalies, teleports and veins—then race topside to beat back enemy waves before diving again.Roles matter, but they’re player-chosen. At the start of a run you decide how you want to help the team:the Miner breaks blocks faster and charts routes;the Courier moves faster and carries more, hauling loot to the surface…
