Heart of the Sea is a game about the sad reality of ocean pollution - with a magical, uplifting twist! Explore the mysterious depths of the sea in a nimble submersible, meet and learn from animal friends along the way, and search for a way of restoring balance to our home that may have been there all along <3

Notes

It's normal for the game to take some time to load, please have patience :) We also have some unfinished parts of the game at the time of submission. For example, one of the sea creatures (wonder if you can guess which) appears as an untextured... uh... entity. Probably best to steer clear unless you want a trip to the backrooms. We had more art and gameplay we hoped to implement, unfortunately we ran out of time. We hope you enjoy the game for what it is and hopefully any issues will at least give you a laugh :)

We may create an updated build after the voting period ends and we can fix some problems. Until then, the game is completable but you have to find the caves at the very bottom of the ocean. Make sure to explore each tunnel!

If you like the artstyle, check out an incredible animated movie called Song of the Sea! The art and intended feel of the game drew some inspiration from there (but you should just watch it anyway) :)
