About

In Other Waters, released in 2020, is an indie adventure game that offers a unique narrative-driven experience. Players step into the shoes of Ellery Vas, a biologist exploring an alien ocean after her partner, Minae Nomura, goes missing. The game stands out for its minimalist graphics and atmospheric sound design, immersing players in a world filled with extraterrestrial life while challenging them to unravel the mysteries of this alien environment.

PC gamers who enjoy exploration and narrative depth will find In Other Waters particularly appealing. The game is less about fast-paced action and more focused on environmental storytelling and emotional engagement, making it suitable for players who appreciate thoughtful gameplay experiences. While it may not offer endless replayability due to its linear storyline, its challenging puzzles and atmospheric exploration provide a satisfying experience that resonates with those who enjoy cerebral gameplay.

With a rating of 69/100, In Other Waters may not be for everyone, but it is certainly worth considering for fans of indie titles and adventure narratives. If you're looking for a game that emphasizes exploration and storytelling over typical high-octane gameplay, then In Other Waters is a noteworthy addition to your PC gaming library.

Performance profile

Released in April 2020, In Other Waters targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

In Other Waters is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — In Other Waters runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

"Earth’s oceans are dead. Vast toxic swathes of open water, broken-up only by “reserves” of mutated fish and fetid phytoplankton farms, they serve as a reminder of what we lost. When I say we, I mean those of us too poor or marginal to have found a place on one of hundreds of starward colonies, where exoplanets are scoured of resources to fuel the desires of the richest people ever to have lived. But there is life - I have seen it. Life beyond our fragile frame. I will show you. - Minae Nomura | Notebook xvii"
