That’s what the game is about
The developers and publishers rely on a narrative style and the self-proclaimed “overwhelming power of sadness” for presentation. Deep in the North Sea in the techno-futuristic 1970s, professional diver Stan struggles to overcome a life-changing loss and build a new future for himself. The loneliness of the deep sea is a fitting manifestation of his state of mind.
As Stan withdraws further and further into his self-imposed loneliness, strange things begin to happen far below the surface. He will eventually have to make a difficult choice…be lost in the depths forever or fight his way back to the surface and be free for the rest of his life.
A declaration of love to the oceans, Under The Waves invites you to immerse yourself in a magnificent underwater world, brought to life in a poetic mix of cinematic imagery and moving storytelling. Experience a compelling story through Stan’s eyes and follow him through a series of unforeseen events that take him further and further into the abyss, a reflection of his own psyche.
Take Stan’s submarine across the vast ocean floor and witness the beautiful wildlife that is Stan’s only company while he is lost in thought. Explore caves, shipwrecks and underwater plants in Stan’s special wetsuit and follow his mysterious memories to find your way back to the surface and save his life. Gather materials and gadgets to help Stan progress in his quest to find himself. You must dare to venture off the beaten track to experience gripping moments and learn more about the tragic past he is trying to escape…
