Under The Waves is a narrative-driven adventure game about the engulfing power of grief. Set in the depths of the North Sea in a techno-futuristic 1970s, professional diver Stan is struggling to overcome a life-changing loss and embrace a new future. The isolation of the deep sea is a fitting manifestation of his state of mind, and as Stan retreads further into his self-imposed solitude, he starts to experience strange events far beneath the waves. He will eventually have to make a difficult choice...
A love letter to the oceans, Under The Waves invites you to dive into a gorgeous underwater world, brought to life in a poetic blend of cinematic visuals and poignant storytelling. Live a gripping story through Stan’s eyes and guide him through an unforeseen series of events that will bring him deeper and deeper into the abyss, the reflection of his own psyche.
Wander the vast seabed piloting Stan’s submarine and encounter the beautiful wildlife, Stan’s only company while he’s trapped in his own mind. Explore caves, wrecks, and underwater plants with Stan’s special wetsuit, following the mysterious manifestations of his memories, to find a way back to the surface and save his life. Collect materials and craft equipment that will help Stan navigate further on this self-discovery expedition. You will have to dare get off the beaten track to experience mesmerizing moments and reveal more about the tragic past he is trying to escape...

What if Subnautica was more laid-back and story-driven? Under the Waves is the powerful answer
SHOULD I PLAY UNDER THE WAVES?
Play it. Under the Waves is a beautiful sci-fi game about sea exploration. It’s similar to Subnautica in the sense where you explore a vast ocean and find resources to build stuff to keep you going, but it doesn’t have any dangerous creatures or challenging missions. Instead, this narrative-driven adventure has players tackling sensitive topics like grief and isolation, while uncovering mysteries and performing tasks for a greedy oil conglomerate.
