What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are working hard to make the PCVR version better bit by bit so that it has much more to see than the Meta Quest version. We choose to release in Early Access because we will release features and new levels with new content regularly over a longer period of time and with the feedback we will create a better game.

Right now we start with a basic set of ROV tools and quest types, so you can already get a good sense of the gameplay and all that in around 90min of gameplay.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“ca. 6-8 months”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We will add new levels over time to get to a minimum of 6 hours of gameplay and include with it new unique assets and a better replayability as well as leaderboards. Of course we will implement your feedback to make it an even better game. Also we will add new tools for the ROV, new quest with new mechanics and on top of all you will be able to walk on the mothership of the ROV with a lab and more new rooms, including one that give the holo deck a new meaning, so stay tuned.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now the game is playable with few levels and advanced set of features and tools. Since we update the Early Access on a regular basis please refer to the info section of the store page and checkout all the updates we post.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We listen to the Community and will implement changes accordingly to make a better game.”

About This Game

Dive into an adventure in the earth’s oceans in your high-tech submarine fascinating spots like the Galapagos, the Arctic, Cozumel coral island, the Deep Sea or a WW2 shipwreck.

Swim with majestic whales, sharks and sea turtles.

Solve quests using your upgradeable tools: Cut with the laser to free jailed whales or entangled turtles, use the scanner for details on over 100 species, use the welder to repair subsea cables and the beam grabber to collect pieces of the infamous nuclear submarine Kursk.

Every time you re-visit one of the levels there will be new things to explore like new quests or new fish species. Just like the ocean our levels show the constant change.

You can take action for real life changes as well and support the work of real NGOs:
In 2024 Demi Lovato, Baywatch star David Hasselhoff and musician Joe Jonas were diving with you. The proceeds support PlanetPlay's certified Green Projects.

We partner also with the WDC - the Whale and Dolphin Conservation, the leading charity dedicated to the protection of whales and dolphins, and support their work.

The level missions are based around real sunken submarines, battleship wrecks and planes, Deep Sea creatures or Caribbean coral reefs. You will also encounter the giants and living wonders of the oceans from sharks, to dolphins, sea turtles and of course the blue whale and learn more about this unique, beautiful and threatened world.

With your mission success you contribute to protect and save the oceans.

On the mothership you can see scientific presentations and interactive data like a holographic table, Also you have a 'Maximal Comfort' setting against Nausea in VR.

We made a nice tutorial level so that you get comfortable how to move around and use the tools of the ROV best.
