Open Waters

You are LOST in Open Waters

Open Waters is a first-person ocean survival horror game. Stranded in a small boat, you must navigate treacherous waters, evade creatures of the deep, and find your way back to safety before the ocean drags you into its depths.

Explore the Uncharted

The ocean is vast and full of terrors. Use a range of tools, including your trusty Compass and Handheld Sonar Device, to find your way. With minimal maps and waypoints to guide you, you must chart your own path using whatever information you can find: a note, a direction, a sound, or maybe even a star.

Discover Haunted Locations

The ocean is scattered with abandoned sites. They may hold clues to how you can escape to safety, but years of isolation have twisted these places into haunted terrors and exploring them comes with risk. These areas expand the horror beyond the open water, forcing you to face threats on both land and sea.

Avoid the Creatures of the Deep

The unexplored depths hide unimaginable terrors. Those terrors have risen to the surface and you must do everything to avoid becoming their prey. Use your tools to track their movements and consider cutting the engine if you are making too much noise. Stay calm, stay quiet, and you may live long enough to see land again.

Do NOT fall into the water

And above all else, do not fall into the water. That is their domain.
