“A love letter to the ocean. Dive into the beautiful underwater world as a sea current. Solve puzzles to bring back to life coral reefs and spread the beauty of the oceans in different sea ecosystems.”
“The game was developed on a sailship in a pristine marine reserve in Northern Catalonia called Cap De Creus.”
I’m not sure if anyone following me has realized that I have a bit of an ocean obsession >.< Koral has done such a great job with the visuals it was difficult to cut the footage to an appropriate length. Look out for a making of video by the developer that talks about the inspiration for the game and goes over some of the development process during the boat trip. It releases the same day as the game but I got to take an early peek at it and it was quite interesting. :-)
