This game is essentially a passion project, worked on by a single developer for the moment, where the aim is to allow the players to explore and help protect underwater ecosystems and their wildlife, all the while interacting with a possible future segment of mankind.
The game design and story draws inspiration from movies (ex: The Big Blue, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Abyss, Underwater, The Cave), books and graphic novels (ex: 20 000 Leagues under the Sea, The World Is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean's Are One, The Underwater Welder, Dept. H) and documentaries (ex: Revolution, Sharkwater, The Cove, Blackfish).
The game intends to be somewhat futuristic while still tackling present issues which all global beings have to deal with.
Features being worked on:
- Help clean the oceans, conserve and protect ecosystems and their species.
- Explore the GAIA station and its underwater surroundings such as cave systems and derelict buildings.
- Interact through dialogue with diverse crew members of GAIA and learn about them.
- Complete objectives (missions) for the GAIA crew and other higher-ups of the MPI organization.
- Vehicles/transport systems for the player to use in order to explore the underwater environments and areas.
- Light RPG elements.
- inventory management
- Unlock higher ranks in the MPI with more responsibilities and higher pay - More features will be added
