## What is Fathom?

Chart what the dark won't show.

Fathom is a quiet sonar logic puzzle about deciding how much the next answer is worth. Explore a hidden grid one edge at a time, find each objective, and complete the mission using as little Intel as possible.

PROBE THE UNKNOWN
Test an unexplored direction for one Intel. An open route lets you move. A wall becomes part of your permanent chart. Once a corridor is known, traveling through it is free.

CHOOSE YOUR SIGNAL
Spend two Intel on a focused Sonar glimpse, or commit five to a wider Deep Pulse. More information can save a run—but only if it was worth the cost.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Campaign: Twelve named missions introduce the rules and combine them in new ways.
• Daily Dive: Complete a fresh Easy, Medium, and Hard sequence each day.
• Free Dive: Generate another seeded chart whenever you want a new puzzle.

THREE MISSION FAMILIES
• Echo Hunt: Follow distance and bearing to a hidden beacon.
• Relay Chain: Reach multiple relays in the correct order.
• Sector Survey: Visit every marked objective and turn uncertainty into a map.

PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE
There is no timer and no move limit. Fathom rewards observation, memory, and efficient decisions. Finish a mission, study the revealed chart, then return to lower your Intel score and improve your grade.
