About the Game

The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is a pixelated, side-scrolling, underwater action-adventure game about exploring the decaying ruins of our species -- and fighting deadly sea-creatures -- in search of answers about our downfall.

Key Features

Melancholic underwater atmosphere: We really wanted to show the beauty of the sea as well as our influence on nature.
Exploratory storytelling: The story is mainly told through the art and backgrounds with some textual hints along the way.
Unique conflict encounters: Throughout the adventure, you will encounter -- much like Odysseus in The Odyssey -- monstrous beasts and challenges that you will have to best.
Polarized gameplay: It's pretty chill until you've gotta fight for your life!

We think it's important to bring up global issues that have affected our lives and try to give a different point of view: climate change, terrorism, and technological progress.

We’re not lying: You are the last human; humanity is doomed.

Backstory

The water rose by an unpredictable amount due to climate change. The Earth's surface froze over, and humans were forced to live underwater -- where they could still harvest energy and grow food -- changing how cities and districts looked. As resources began to dwindle in the year 2971, sub-aquatic spaceships were sent to a nearby wormhole to look for habitable planets. Things did not go as planned. And now the ship, Argo9, has returned thousands of years later in a time after humans have gone extinct.

It's up to you to determine whether the ruins of our species is a travesty or an inevitable conclusion as you explore the lush aquatic world and encounter deadly underwater monsters.

This game offers a succinct take on the impending doom brought about by the greed and callousness of humanity. The themes of both the dialogue/story and the environmental storytelling visuals shines through the 8-bit art-style. It has bullet hell aspects combined with upgrade mechanics much like a metroidvania minus the platforming and provides a good story through optional dialogues. I heavily enjoyed this game. The only downside to this game is there is no way to hit sick drifts with your method of transport so you can style on the bosses when you beat them (this has no bearing on the rating I gave it). 9/10
