A handcrafted underwater journey — not an endless runner, but a story with an ending. You are the last of your family to come home. When the dark came, they scattered into the deep. One by one you must find them, drifting back through five seas: the coral grove where you were small, the cold trench that took the elders, the wreck field of old memory, the lightless abyss, and the aurora above the ice, where the family has been waiting. Your body is your only instrument. Inflate to rise, deflate to sink, and thread through pulsing sea gates as they breathe — time it perfectly and your light grows brighter. Every sea changes the rules: currents that carry you, debris from a sunken world, darkness lit only by your own lantern, gates that open in rhythm as you arrive. The creatures of the deep each hunt in their own way — sea turtles, ocean sunfish, octopuses, anglerfish — and a jellyfish is fragile prey. • 40 handcrafted levels across 5 distinct seas • 25 real jellyfish to find and bring home, each with its own story • A quiet, hand-drawn world — every creature and gate rendered in code, no stock art • Single-player · Plays offline Take your time. They have all been waiting.
