Author Kate Messner remembers a time when she took her own children out kayaking in Monterey Bay. After the experience, she knew she wanted to write about the special ecosystem both above and below the waves in this area of the Pacific Ocean. Award-winning duo Kate Messner and Christopher Silas Neal return in this latest addition to the Over and Under picture book series, this time exploring the rich, interconnected ecosystem of the ocean! Over the waves, the sea lions bark and seagulls wheel and call. The bay is smooth and bright in the sun. But under the waves, there's a whole hidden forest, full of whales and wolf eels, sardines and sea bass, leopard sharks and luminous jellies, as well as the waving kelp that shelters them all. Discover the magical depths of the kelp forest, and all the fascinating creatures living just a paddle's length away—over and under the waves. Parallel Studio developed Under the Waves in France. [3] Quantic Dream released it for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and Windows on August 29, 2023. [4] Reception [ edit ]

The nature of the setting means most things are carried out at a relatively slow pace – Stan can only swim so fast, after all – and there are rarely any threats to the player. The general structure of Under the Waves sees players controlling Stan over a set number of days. This involves waking up in the morning, having a radio chat with his employer and getting his tasks for the day, which at first involve maintenance work on the company’s various underwater constructions. A surreal voyage under the waves – Live a poetic underwater adventure about a man trying to overcome his traumatic past and save his own life, both literally and figuratively. Will Stan ever reach the surface again? It’s a testament to Under the Waves, then, that despite our issues with the dialogue and the character design, we still found ourselves blubbering like babies as the end credits rolled. This game still has the power to affect you profoundly. There is subject matter in this game that would make it extremely difficult for some people to play.
