You play as Lady Love Dies, an âinvestigation freakâ who is summoned from exile to decide who the murderer is. Search for clues and find the evidence needed to accuse whoever you find guilty. Multiple suspects means multiple possible outcomes based on the evidence you discover and the choices you make.

In Other Waters is out now!
Guide a stranded xenobiologist through a beautiful and strange alien ocean. What will you discover together?
When Ellery is called to planet Gliese 677Cc by Minae Nomura, only to arrive at an abandoned base, she finds herself adrift in an ocean of secrets, with little more than a malfunctioning diving suit and a strange AI to guide her. You are this AI.
Guide Elleryâand keep her safeâas you dive deeper and explore an underwater alien landscape. The planetâs unique life, and its dark history, are yours to uncover and the bond between you and Ellery will be tested by the secrets you learn. Through this shifting narrative, In Other Waters asks questions about the nature of ânaturalâ and âartificialâ life, and investigates what it means to be a human in an epoch of extreme environmental destruction. For life to continue, it must change.

Discover the Xenobiologist Edition
Immerse yourself in the wonders of Gliese 667Cc, home to humanity's first encounter with extraterrestrial life. The Xenobiologist Edition includes three core parts of In Other Waters:
- The Game, where you explore and study an alien ocean alongside Dr. Ellery Vas
- The Companion Book, which acts as an epilogue and xenobiological catalog
- The Original Soundtrack by Kingdom series composer Amos Roddy.
Together they tell the story of the exoplanet Gliese 667Cc. From interpreting signals and discovering sunken secrets in the game, to flicking through beautiful paintings of alien life in the book, the elements of the Xenobiologist Edition work together to encourage and inspire the player's imagination and provide a space of refuge and reflection on how we relate to the world around us at times of ecological crisis.
