Overview
Description

Abzu invites players to become a lone diver exploring a lush, vibrant ocean filled with majestic sea creatures and ancient ruins. The wordless narrative unfolds as you descend deeper, uncovering the secrets of a vanished civilization and seeking purpose amidst the sea’s quiet beauty. Guided by a great white shark, you restore life to the ocean’s wells while confronting robotic threats that disturb the delicate balance, all set to a mesmerizing soundtrack that enhances the meditative experience.

Anoxemia puts you in the shoes of scientist Dr. Bailey, guiding his autonomous drone ATMA through treacherous underwater caves. Search the ocean floor, collect samples, and upgrade your gear while battling poison drifts, currents, and abandoned war mines. The ever‑present threat of running out of oxygen forces careful planning, and ATMA’s special tools help you navigate the darkness. A story‑driven, single‑player experience that blends tension, discovery, and narrative depth.
