Even the Ocean is a game that wants to raise awareness of the human impact on the environment and for its players to spread its message.

Even the Ocean is a grand story about Aliph, a lowly power plant technician for Whiteforge City, who finds her world turned upside-down after a routine maintenance trip goes awry. Now, working directly with Whiteforge's Mayor Biggs to face an unknown menace, Aliph must navigate her newfound power and influence to save the city.

Aliph's identities, environmental issues and the world’s fate all hang in the balance of Light and Dark energies.

Its fictional world needs to be balanced by light and dark energies, and due to an imbalance brought about by power-hungry politicians, that world is accelerating towards its end. You play a power plant engineer who is tasked with trying to restore the balance and hopefully saving the world. The result is a platformer that lets you skip its challenges and focus on the story if wish, knowing that its message is important, and wanting to reach as many people as possible. The timing of the game's release couldn't be better, coming just days after climate scientists declared the polar ice caps were in a state of "emergency," as well as the results of the American presidential election. Even the Ocean might help you gather your thoughts and priorities in a confusing time.

Key Features:

  • Balance your energy bar with Light and Dark energies to overcome diverse obstacles and stabilize the city.
  • Meet and talk with new friends, powerful allies, and enigmatic travellers
  • Explore the beautiful and strange geography in the overworld, towns, and environments surrounding Whiteforge City
  • Super customizable difficulties and play styles: choose between Complete, Story-only, or Gameplay-only options to make your experience your own

Even the Ocean is available as digital download through Steam ($14.99)
