Caerulean: Beneath and Beyond

As a low ranked officer of the Maritime Protection Initiative (M.P.A.), Laura Deckard is assigned to the GAIA oceanic station, established at 150 m (600 feet) underwater, which serves as a long-term research outpost since 2035. Follow her journey of exploration and preservation of the marine ecosystems, in a world constantly affected by the consequences of climate change. This game is essentially a passion project, worked on by a single developer for the moment, where the aim is to allow the players to explore and help protect underwater ecosystems and their wildlife, all the while interacting with a possible future segment of mankind. The game design and story draws inspiration from movies (ex: The Big Blue, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Abyss, Underwater, The Cave), books and graphic novels (ex: 20 000 Leagues under the Sea, The World Is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean's Are One, The Underwater Welder, Dept. H) and documentaries (ex: Revolution, Sharkwater, The Cove, Blackfish). The game intends to be somewhat futuristic while still tackling present issues which all global beings have to deal with.Features being worked on: - Help clean the oceans, conserve and protect ecosystems and their species. - Explore the GAIA station and its underwater surroundings such as cave systems and derelict buildings. - Interact through dialogue with diverse crew members of GAIA and learn about them. - Complete objectives (missions) for the GAIA crew and other higher-ups of the MPI organization. - Vehicles/transport systems for the player to use in order to explore the underwater environments and areas. - Light RPG elements. - inventory management - Unlock higher ranks in the MPI with more responsibilities and higher pay - More features will be added
