NotE3 and Summer Game Fest 2023 is over for another year. Still no release date for Under The Waves, but it's been confirmed for Steam and the Epic Games Store, alongside Xbox and PlayStation consoles. I'm expecting the same sort of emotional gut punches found in Firewatch and What Remains Of Edith Finch too, but we'll have to wait and see. I think Under The Waves is going more for the Abzu approach, as it feels quite poetic from the trailer. I'm a big fan of games set in the ocean, be they capturing its beauty in something like Abzu or its terrifying nature like in Subnautica. Like I said before, I'm vibing a lot with Under The Waves. Stan is trying to overcome a life-changing loss and so has retreated to the quiet isolation of the ocean, but weird things start to happen whilst he's on the job - the waves carry strange whispers and he keeps spotting flashes of a young girl. Playing as a professional diver called Stan, this adventure will be taking you to the depths of the ocean in a "techno-futuristic" 1970s.
