Beyond Blue is a single-player narrative adventure that takes you deep into our planet’s beating blue heart. Explore the awesome wonder and unbounded mystery that exists within the world’s ocean.
The game allows players to freely swim through beautifully rendered ocean environments at their own pace, without the constraints of combat, survival, or time-pressure. Players take on the role of Mirai, a deep-sea explorer and scientist, who uses advanced underwater technology to observe and study marine life.
A core gameplay loop involves scanning and cataloging the various species of marine life. As players explore the ocean, they can approach different creatures, from sharks and orcas to giant squid and angler fish, and scan them to unlock detailed information and educational videos about the real-world biology and behavior of those animals. This scanning mechanic encourages careful observation and fosters a sense of appreciation for the underwater ecosystem.
After progressing through the narrative-driven main story, players unlock the ability to freely dive in any of the previously visited ocean locations. This free-roam mode allows for open-ended exploration, letting players simply swim and admire the serene underwater environments at their leisure, without any time constraints or survival mechanics.
The game's fluid swimming animations, realistic water physics, and vibrant marine life contribute to a sense of tranquility and immersion. The ambient soundtrack, featuring a mix of original music and carefully curated songs, further enhances the calming and contemplative mood.
Alongside the relaxing exploration, the game incorporates educational elements that teach players about real-world marine biology and ocean conservation. The in-game "Ocean Insights" videos, featuring interviews with scientific experts, provide factual information about the ocean's ecosystems and the challenges they face, aligning with the game's goal of fostering a greater appreciation and understanding of the natural wonders of the sea.
