In Other Waters is engrossing, beautiful and perfectly balanced both in terms of immersive gameplay and intriguing narrative. It's relaxing without being boring, and thoughtful without treading the same tired sci-fi tropes.
Get on SteamIn Other Waters is a narrative-driven game where you play as an AI guide to a xenobiologist, Ellery, who is searching for her missing partner on an alien planet with an oceanic landscape. As you explore the underwater world, you'll uncover the planet's unique life and dark history, while also forming a bond with Ellery. The game features a non-linear narrative that raises questions about the definition of "natural" and "artificial" life in the context of environmental destruction.
