About Ocean Rift
Ocean Rift features 12 habitats ready for you to explore. Environments range from coral reefs, mangrove swamps and shipwrecks, to the deep sea, Arctic and Atlantis.
Activate the education mode to learn more about the animals you come across. There are over 40 fully narrated information points to find.
Ocean Rift's star animals are animated using an advanced procedural animation system. Its aim is to produce life-like behavior, and display some of the range of motion and dexterity shown by real-life equivalents. Dolphins for example will twist, twirl and swim through hoops in an endless variety of ways, ensuring that no two visits to Ocean Rift will be the same!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise Ocean Rift as a peaceful, immersive virtual aquarium experience that offers relaxing exploration and wildlife interaction rather than traditional gameplay, with beautiful visuals and a meditative quality that appeals to ocean enthusiasts and children. However, the game suffers from significant control issues—particularly a lack of Quest controller support and confusing menu navigation that prevents some players from even starting the game—while others note it's more of a brief experience than a full game with substantial content, and some wish for options to disable aggressive a
It's an abandoned game and there's no controller support for Quest headsets. This is a game I wanted to like and I couldn't even get past the first part where it tells you to hit the menu button to start. Nothing starts the game. I even went in to the controller bindings and tried to assign a button to start it and nothing worked. I can't tell for the life of me why this game has mostly positive reviews. The people with the most common headset in the VR world can't possibly play it.2 found this helpful
Ocean Rift, developed by Llyr ap Cenydd and published by Picselica Ltd, is a serene and visually captivating virtual reality experience that invites players to explore the mysteries of the ocean in a way that few games have ever attempted. More than a traditional game, it feels like a digital aquarium brought to life, offering the player the opportunity to swim freely through beautifully realized underwater environments filled with diverse marine life. The premise is simple but effective: you are dropped into an “aquatic safari park,” an open and tranquil underwater world where exploration, discovery, and relaxation take center stage. Rather than focusing on objectives or competition, Ocean Rift’s true strength lies in its ability to immerse players completely in a peaceful and meditative environment, encouraging them to simply exist in the vast, silent expanse beneath the waves. From the moment you enter the water, Ocean Rift immediately distinguishes itself through atmosphere and visual design. The underwater landscapes are striking, ranging from shallow coral reefs teeming with life to eerie deep-sea trenches illuminated only by bioluminescent creatures. Each biome is unique, f…1 found this helpful
a great fun game . that can also be a bit scary lol . wish there was a setting to make it to where the animals can't attack you lol.
First saw this in GearVR years ago and loved it, but it initially didn't work with WMR headsets in SteamVR, but that's fixed now. Now it works great, and its and awesome experience.
PRESS "=" FOR MENU thats the entire game
Ocean Rift is a great little game.... well... experience is more the word. It's more than The Blu in that you DO get to move. You get to swim around using your controllers as propellers to get you through the water. You can also go up to animals and interact with them to learn animal facts. Is this a game that you are gonna get a ton of time out of? Probably not.... unless you are one of two people. Someone who feels at home in the ocean and/or loves ocean life, or you are a kid. I enjoy the game because swimming around and getting up close to animals I think are amazing but will probably never get to see in person is worth the $10 for me. I really wish there were more games like this. Where I can just relax and hang out with some animals after a hard or stressful day. It's very zen. I can just sit on my couch, swim with some orcas, and breathe. My kid (who is 9) loves the game because he loves animals and loves to learn about them. My son has never seen the ocean. The first game I ever let him play was The Blu and my kid was in awe. He is with this game as well. In fact as I am typing this he is in the game and I can hear him reading animal facts out loud. The other good thi…
