About the Game



In the Darkness of the Sea is a short 2D-narrative game set in the middle of the ocean at night.

A boy wakes up in a lifeboat, lost at sea. What he'll see, he will never forget.

As its boat is carried away by the current, he'll have to avoid the sea creatures and brave a powerful storm.

Inspired by The Old Man and the Sea, Life of Pi and Raymond Bishop's illustrations of Moby Dick.
