Throughout eight different dives you'll explore the untouched world of our ocean and use technology at the edge of our understanding - tracking sea creatures, unraveling mysteries, and interacting with the ocean like never before
Experience an evocative narrative with full voice cast - Anna Akana (YouTube), Mira Furlan (Lost, Babylon 5), Hakeem Kae-Kazim (Black Sails, Hotel Rwanda), and Ally Maki (Toy Story 4)

Relaxing underwater exploration game with environmentalist agenda. Well done and interesting, however, some of the quotations had too much pathos for my taste. There could have been more information included on the species encountered in the game. Nevertheless I learned some new things and enjoyed the game.

As someone who loved Never Alone I just can't recommend this one and would like to encourage you to play Never Alone instead. It's just... too much effort put into gameplay elements that feel like busywork. The characters have nice voice actors, the soundtrack is pretty cool, the graphics are nice enough and the mini-documentary is pretty cool, but it all just falls flat. It would have benefited from a more compelling story, a faster pace or just more gameplay. Never Alone was a straightforward platformer and that just worked better than this walking simulator-ish game.
