About Voice of the Ocean

You've just come into a world already in ruins. You don't know who you are, and there's no one to tell you. Perhaps you are the last of your kind. It’s up to you, and the strength of your voice and fins, to piece together the past. Sing the forgotten songs, and uncover the echoes of a sunken, broken civilization. Voice of the Ocean is the beginning of a single-player adventure where you will have to sing and swim. You will be a newborn mermaid, diving through ruins and looking for pieces of a long lost mural. In the game you will:

Sing to a living, handcrafted soundtrack.

Use your voice to navigate the depths. Sing the melodies of your lost civilization, brought to life through an original score composed exclusively for the game by Jaime Fenoy Aguilera.You will have to hit the correct pitch using your voice, to charm fishes, move objects and sing the songs of the mermaids.

Explore an unique artistic atmosphere.

Dive into a forgotten world beneath the waves, with a traditional oil painting style brought to 3D. Swim through a vivid, impressionistic seascapes, poisoned by an uncertain past. You will be able to swim through ruins, buildings and areas reclaimed by nature.

Recover the fragments of a hidden legacy.

Part of the story of your people lies scattered across the deep. Unstructured and half-buried in a world that has forgotten it. Find the audio logs and the lost mural to reconstruct the past.  

This game was created over the course of 11 weeks by third-year bachelor students from Howest - Digital Arts & Entertainment, with the invaluable contribution of our original soundtrack composer, Jaime Fenoy Aguilera as well as our animator Maxine Desmet. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our coordinators, Alex Vanden Abeele and Tristan Clarysse, for their support and trust in our vision.

Gorgeous and interesting, Voice of the Ocean exists as little more than a proof of concept at the moment. The main pitch mechanic does work and is plenty forgiving in its current incarnation. Though I do have little hope one with as limited musical inclination as myself would be able to progress much further along its eventual difficulty curve. There's really only one sunken building to explore, with a couple of audio logs also scattered around the ruined city outside of it. The content of the logs presents an enticing narrative, seemingly voiced by the student developers themselves. I don't know if Voice of the Ocean will continue past its current state, but it's plenty charming and intriguing as it is now.

Very pretty with unique gameplay. Not optimal if you live in an apartment building where your neighbors can almost certainly hear you. Would have loved if the game was longer!

A short, gorgeous, atmospheric experience. For being made in only 11 weeks, I'm impressed with it, though sad that there doesn't seem to be a way to fully complete the mural. If this is just a oneshot, just an idea, or even made for a game bash, it's absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ phenomenal and I'm amazed at its quality. If this is something that would be progressed further at some point... dude, sign me up. I want more. The voice control mechanic was relatively forgiving, and the fact it automatically registered some of my low notes (when I overshot how low to sing lol) as HIGH notes, means you don't need an alto or soprano register to play this game! It'll work for those of you with deeper voices, too! The area you can play in is tragically small, but currents pushing you back is a fun detail. The five audio logs paint an incomplete, but delightful story, one with just enough gaps to leave you wondering at where this all started. "I think... I would have been a good father." YEEEOWCH!! REALLY GOOD!!! I used an xbox controller and it worked just fine, though the swim up/swim down parts are a little slow... but I also just love going fast, haha. It's short. It's sweet. It's beautiful. It's …

Straight up couldn't play it. Connected Xbox controller, was told to press L2 to sing, pressed L2, made some noises, got some singing sounds back, still in egg. Pressed L2 again, got the microphone popup, no more noise. I would have loved to play this, but there is the opposite of a tutorial, or a glitch, or something keeping me from getting to the gameplay

Mic wouldnt pic up my voice. I had to slam on my mic for it to pick up anything!
