Forgotten Ocean
[Headphones / volume UP recommended]
In this experience, you are a scuba diver exploring an alien ocean... what hides beneath this unknown, obscure sea?
There is no goal or ending, but you may meet very interesting creatures.
Communication with them is based on color and sounds:
- syntonize your color with the color of a deep sea creature, and it may slow down and be attracted to you;
- That's when you can try to emit the right-frequency sound, and you may even hear the creature's forgotten voice.
You can take photos as well, as a real marine biology researcher.
Commands
| WASD | Move |
| E | Switch emitted color |
| R | Switch sound frequency |
| Left click | Emit sound |
| F | Take photo (only in download version) |

I made all the assets by myself, including sounds, in some cases using AI to produce some alien weird underwater music.
The best part of the creation process was certainly the deep-sea fish design. I have had a lot of inspirations, for example Alexander Carter's art for one fish. I ended up with 6 fish due to time, and very basic AI and shaders, but I still have a lot of ideas that I may implement in the future. Please consider this experience as a prototype.

I love this kind of game but it wasn't clear the game doesn't have a goal and it's a more relaxing experience before I read the English description. i thouth its a shooter game or something 😅
Thank you for playing :) Oh yea, at the beginning my idea was to set a goal such as "Find all the creatures" and/or capture them in picture. But in the end I decided to leave total exploration freedom. :))
Ahhh... I love this one!
Thank you! :)
