Quantic Dream has announced its next big publishing project with “Under the Waves” at Gamescom 2022. The single-player narrative adventure is being developed by Parallel Studio and will be released in 2023 for PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Immediately after the first announcement, the title was treated as a story and atmosphere highlighting the show. In this article we want to tell you what’s behind the project and what you can actually expect from the game. First of all, if you want to relax and have a good mood, then you should avoid Unter the Waves.
This is what the game is about
The developers and publishers rely on the narrative style and “overwhelming power of grief” in the show. Deep in the North Sea in the 1970s, professional diver Stan was struggling to overcome a life-changing loss and build a new future for himself. The solitude of the deep sea is a fitting manifestation of his state of mind.
As Stan retreats further and further into his self-imposed isolation, strange things begin to happen far below the surface. He will eventually have to make a difficult decision… to get lost in the depths forever or fight his way back to the surface and be free for the rest of his life.
A declaration of love for the oceans, Under The Waves invites you to immerse yourself in a fascinating underwater world, brought to life in a poetic blend of cinematic imagery and poignant storytelling. Experience a thrilling story through Stan’s eyes and accompany him on an unexpected chain of events that will lead him to the abyss more than ever, a reflection of his psyche.
Take Stan’s submarine across the vast ocean floor and see the beautiful wildlife that is Stan’s only company when he’s lost his mind. Explore caves, shipwrecks and underwater plants in Stan’s special suit and follow his mysterious memories to find a way to return to the surface and save his life. Collect materials and tools to help Stan advance on his quest to find himself. You must dare to go off the beaten track to experience touching moments and learn more about the tragic past he is trying to escape…
