Wishlist Wednesday: In Other Waters

In this weekly feature, I share game titles from my various gaming wishlists. I share screenshots and video from the developer, talk about my expectations, and generally just ramble about why the title made it onto my list in the first place. This week's choice is In Other Waters by Jump Over The Age.

WHY I WANT IT

Okay, there are some pretty amazing things about this game. Allow me to list them:

• Made by one person.
• You play as an AI and have to keep your human safe.
• Your human is a xenobiologist.
• Your human's partner is missing on an alien planet.
• An alien planet that is pretty much a vast ocean.
• You get to catalog the alien life.
• It's marvelously a non-violent sci-fi story, which is a rarity.
• The focus is on the exploration and discoveries.
• Made by one person, in case you forgot already.
• In fact, re-watch the video. Now remind yourself it was made by one person.

Now the question is... do I want it for PC, or Switch?

Don't make me re-use the Road to El Dorado gif from last week, guys. You know the answer.






(Both. The answer is both.)

If that isn't enough to pique your interest, then this probably isn't your genre -- and that's okay! Check back next week for another title and let me know what you think of my selection!
