About this product

Under the Waves is a narrative-driven adventure game about the engulfing power of grief. Set in the depths of the North Sea in a techno-futuristic 1970s, professional diver Stan is struggling to overcome a life-changing loss and embrace a new future. The isolation of the deep sea is a fitting manifestation of his state of mind, and as Stan retreads further into his self-imposed solitude, he starts to experience strange events far beneath the waves. Stuck between life and death, Stan will have to make the most significant choice of his existence.

    Under the sea!!!

    Great narrative of a game, interesting story line, good single player gameplay. Lots of world to explore. Can be frustrating at times as you start getting used to everything. But love it so far!

    clastrophobic beautifully ethereal experience

    What i liked from the get-go was that quantic dream included the extremely rare inclusion of a physical booklet with the game, which is some beautiful studio art. You can tell that all parties involved were passionate about the process making this game and they did a wonderful job. My only disappointment was the lack of action but I'm well aware that this wasn't in the game plan when the studio designed it. It just gets a bit boring and dreary at time but i highly recommend a playthrough for anyone who tends to engage in in-game scenery because there is plenty to be had.
