Deep in the North Sea, in a techno-futuristic version of the 1970s, Stan, a professional diver, struggles to come to terms with a life-changing loss and embrace a new future. The isolation of the seabed reflects his state of mind, and as he sinks deeper into his self-imposed solitude, Stan begins to experience strange events far beneath the waves. He must ultimately make a difficult choice... remain lost in the depths forever, or find salvation back to the surface and the rest of his life.
A true love letter to the oceans, Under The Waves invites you to dive into its wonderful and lush underwater world, whose poetic and cinematic tone serves as a setting for a poignant story. Live a unique adventure through the eyes of Stan and guide him in a stream of events that will lead him deeper and deeper into the abyss, a reflection of his own psyche.
Explore the vast ocean floor as you pilot Stan's submarine and encounter the magnificent wildlife that Stan keeps as his only companion while he's trapped in his thoughts. Explore caves, shipwrecks and underwater infrastructure using 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 craft equipment to help Stan continue his expedition and his journey of self-discovery. You'll have to dare to think outside the box to experience fascinating moments and learn more about the tragic past he's trying to escape...
