Pan-­Oceanic is a tabletop roleplaying game for a Game Master (or GM) and two to five Players. It takes inspiration from such films as Leviathan, DeepStar Six, Alien, and The Abyss, among others. The game is meant to be easy to pick up and play, needing one session to complete. Materials required for play are six six-­sided dice, pencils, and paper.

The world of the Pan-­Oceanic takes place in a retro-­futurist 2140. Rising sea levels have caused humanity to look to the sea beds for resources, giving rise to the monolithic Pan-­Oceanic Corporation. Monopolizing deep-sea extraction, they operate mining rigs in all of the world's oceans and wield enormous power in government.

In the game, players act as employees of Pan-­Oceanic, exploring and trying to survive as the underwater mining facility they work in is crumbling and/or being destroyed around them. It is a game of survival, corporate greed, and the strength through adversity that bonds all of us together.

Using their wits and ingenuity to survive, the players must find a way off the facility or else find themselves trapped in a watery tomb.
