Under the Waves is a narrative-driven underwater adventure that explores grief, isolation, and healing beneath the surface of the North Sea. You play as Stan, a professional diver working on a vast subsea installation, who has chosen solitude at the ocean’s depths to escape a painful past. As days pass, routine maintenance tasks gradually give way to strange occurrences and emotional revelations, blurring the line between reality and memory. The game blends calm exploration with light survival mechanics, encouraging players to observe marine life, repair equipment, and uncover personal mementos that deepen the story.
Its richly detailed environments, atmospheric sound design, and introspective pacing create a meditative experience focused on emotional storytelling rather than combat. Environmental themes are woven throughout, highlighting humanity’s impact on the ocean and the fragile beauty of underwater ecosystems. Under the Waves is ideal for players seeking a thoughtful, cinematic journey that values mood, narrative depth, and exploration over fast-paced action.
