In Other Waters v1.0.6

In Other Waters is a narrative exploration game that casts you as a mysterious AI guiding a xenobiologist named Ellery. Called to planet Gliese 677Cc by contact Minae Nomura, Ellery arrives at an abandoned research base with little more than a malfunctioning diving suit and a growing mystery regarding her missing partner. As the onboard AI, your role is to help her dive deeper into an underwater alien world filled with enigmatic life and dark secrets.

While exploring an expansive seafloor—from glowing reefs to impenetrable depths—you will discover and catalogue an entirely new ecosystem. Experiment with scanning, taking samples, and direct observation to study strange creatures and environments. Unlock upgrades as you progress, opening new pathways into previously unreachable areas. Along the way, Ellery’s notes and sketches reveal fragments of the planet’s rich, and often somber, history.

The game’s streamlined interface, whether navigated by gamepad or mouse, lets you interpret signals, set course headings, and piece together the mysteries hidden within the alien ocean. With every dive, you choose your focus: study unique species, uncover hidden secrets, or explore unknown regions. After each expedition, return to the safety of the base to analyze samples, review Ellery’s journals, and engage in limited yet profound communication that deepens your bond.

Beyond its captivating gameplay, In Other Waters raises thought-provoking questions about what constitutes “natural” versus “artificial” life, and challenges you to consider what it means to be human in an age of extreme environmental change. For life to persist, transformation is essential.

Developed by Jump Over the Age—a one-person studio founded by award-winning creator Gareth Damian Martin—the game has been celebrated for its imaginative world-building and innovative storytelling, earning accolades and nominations from several prestigious institutions. Step into a world of mystery, science, and emotional connection, and help guide Ellery toward a truth that will forever change both of you.
