About the Game

Secret of Sardinia is an open-world adventure game full of mystery and mythology. It’s a combat-free fish experience with stealth elements and a focus on narrative. Swim, translate, listen, and explore!

Ancient Mythology

Locate magical bottles that contain the voices of departed souls, who speak their innermost thoughts as they live the last few days of their existence. Collect stone fragments to rebuild the Tablets of Ages – ancient writings which tell the forgotten lore of Sardinia. Closely examine the cryptic Tablets to translate its hieroglyphics and read its legends.

Fish-Fantasy

Control Sam the Sardine using a carefully-crafted swimming mechanic that lets you move with 360 degrees of freedom. Test your skills with races scattered throughout the ocean to attain union with the sea herself and unlock new abilities. Master these techniques to avoid the gaze of the unliving, lest you decay.

Open Seas

The Sotebol Expanse. The Giants’ Graveyard. The Caloksian Wasteland. The Undercurrent. Swim through four connected realms to find the answers you seek – and then travel beyond. Use your knowledge of the ancient Sardinian language to unlock the Cipher Stones, which open secret passageways all throughout the sea.
