There are many mysteries in other waters
In Other Waters is a strong narrative experience that offers players an alien ocean to explore as they experience the story. In Other Waters tells the story of a xenobiologist named Ellery Vas who discovers extraterrestrial life while searching for her missing partner who abandoned their base. Rather than playing as Ellery, players will take control of her AI to help her find her missing partner. Fellow Traveler and Jump Over the Age will bring Other Waters to PC and Nintendo Switch in the spring of this year.
Players will discover new areas of the alien ocean as they move around and explore alien waters. These discoveries will lead to upgrades that unlock new areas in previously visited locations, unique conversations with Ellery, and additional side quests. Properly managing the oxygen and power of Ellery's suit will keep the relationship between her and the AI strong, while the conversation will strengthen that bond. Players will spot points of interest and ask Ellery to investigate them when they dive together. Scans reveal alien creatures, clues, objects, and other features to investigate.
Creatures players encounter in the alien ocean of In Other Waters can be analyzed to discover their purpose, while samples of the local ecosystem can be studied to unlock new areas, scare away predators, solve puzzles, and feed the grazers according to their diet. Playing with alien fauna can affect their behavior and Ellery's costume can be upgraded to delve deeper into the mysterious ocean. Being an intuitive AI allows players to observe, scan, and study the alien environment in unique ways that other games don't address.
