Underwater World is an idle colony builder where you establish and expand an underwater settlement on a flooded planet. The game can run as a desktop wallpaper or in windowed mode, offering passive progression while you work. Relaxation-focused players seeking low-intensity base management with oceanic visuals will find appeal here, though note the wallpaper integration requires manual uninstallation to avoid background processes.

THIS GAME SETS ITSELF AS YOUR ACTIVE DESKTOP WALLPAPER AND MUST BE UNINSTALLED OR SHUT DOWN VIA THE TASK MANAGER AFTER YOU STOP PLAYING. IF YOU DO NOT THEN IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AND YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO GET A REFUND DUE TO YOUR PLAY TIME BEING PAST THE 2HR LIMITATION!!! BE CAREFUL!!!

UNLAWFUL DECEPTIVE ADVERTISEMENT IS BEING USED TO SELL THIS GAME AS IT WAS NOT ADVERTISED AS DOING SUCH OPENLY AT THE TIME MY PURCHASE WAS MADE AND THEY CHANGED IT AFTER THE FACT.

This game opened itself in the background and was running for 56hrs on my PC without my knowledge after I finished installing it. I've never even launched this game and yet I couldn't see it in the processes etc and there was no window open for it but it was running for 56hrs. My PC was running slow at times and I couldn't figure out why and then suddenly when I went back to my desktop this game was LITERALLY my DESKTOP... As in, the actual Desktop Wallpaper had been switched to this game and it was running itself as my wallpaper... I could move the mouse on my desktop and control the game on my wallpaper. Something with this game is seriously messed up and needs to be looked at and I will be uninstalling until it's fixed as that was VERY intrusive and I have NEVER had that happen with ANY game I have ever installed before.

This...game uses deceptive marketing practices. be careful, this game is AFTER THE FACT claimed to be a "Wallpaper"

that means even if you play a few minutes, if you don't actively uninstall it after shutting it down once you confirm the game is not actually what it claims to be and is a glorified interactive wallpaper, it will keep running in the background and you will be ineligible for a refund.

A wonderful game with beautiful graphics, perfectly decorates the desktop so that it is never boring anymore.
The map is very fascinating and allows you to discover new, underwater secrets of the ocean. The development of the underwater base itself is very interesting. It discovers new possibilities in building and growing colony.
I rate it 10/10!
