In this “Narrative Exploration Game” by Gareth Damian Martin you play as an AI that inhabits an advanced dive suit worn by scientist Ellery Vas as she explores a distant planet and encounters alien life for humanity’s first time. As an AI, you experience the world through a beautiful but cryptic user interface, and through Ellery’s description of the world around her.
In Other Waters is available for Windows, Mac, and the Nintendo Switch. Expect it to take between, 4 and 10 hours to complete.
