Under the Waves is a narrative adventure game about the crushing pressure of grief. Deep in the North Sea, in a techno-futuristic version of the 1970s, Stan, a professional diver, struggles to overcome a life-altering disappearance and embrace a new future. The isolation of the seabed mirrors his state of mind and, as he sinks deeper into his self-imposed solitude, Stan begins to experience strange happenings far beneath the waves. In the end, he has to make a difficult choice...

A veritable love letter to the oceans, Under The Waves invites you to plunge into its marvellous, lush underwater world, whose poetic, cinematographic tone serves as the backdrop for a poignant tale. Experience a unique adventure through Stan's eyes and guide him through a stream of events that will take him deeper and deeper into the abyss, a reflection of his own psyche.

Navigate the vast depths of the sea in Stan's submarine and encounter the magnificent wildlife that is Stan's only company as he is trapped in his own thoughts. Explore caves, shipwrecks and underwater infrastructure with Stan's special suit, and follow the mysterious manifestations of his memories to find a way back to the surface and save his life. Collect materials and build equipment to help Stan continue his expedition and self-discovery. You'll have to dare to think outside the box to experience some fascinating moments and find out more about the tragic past he's trying to escape...
