The Depths of Gitche Gumee
The year is 30XX. Climate catastrophe has struck the planet, the ice caps have melted, humanity has been pushed to the seas, and society has all but collapsed. Valuables from the Old World remain suspended in time below the surface, ripe for the taking to anyone with the right equipment.
Gameplay
The player controls an Orb-Ship submersible with the goal of exploring the waters of Gitche Gumee, a lake far to the north in the land once known as Michigan. Maneuver the Orb-Ship deep underwater in search of rare materials and special hidden valuables from the Old World. Return the cargo to the ship on the surface to collect money, buy upgrades for the Orb-Ship, and resupply.
Objective
Search the dark waters for the most valuable prize of all: the wreck of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald.

I loved playing this kind of games as a kid, it was fun hunting for treasures buried deep!! It does have a slow pace but I guess that’s by design. Nice work!
