Plot
Subsurface's time period takes place several hundred years in a future, during an era where humanity is technologically advanced enough to achieve space travel.
The setting of the game is on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, which has become colonized during the space age. Due to the surface of the planet being too irradiated for survival, colonies and outposts have been established under the layer of ice which covers the surface of the moon. Beneath the ice layer is a vast ocean used as a transport network between colonies and as a source for natural resources. The ocean also allowed for the creation of transportation shafts which interconnect the colonies throughout the moon.
The ocean itself is inhabited by a number of aquatic creatures, as well as natural forming cave systems.
