Short but immensely creepy horror game

Water Womb World is a free-to-download adventure game developed by Yames—an independent developer who’s well-known in creating an obscure philosophy-themed game such as Lips Like Velum and Discover My Body. In this game, you will play the role of a researcher who took an underwater submersible up to the bottom area of the ocean in search of the place of Adam and Eve’s Eden. This point-and-click game is best played with both mouse and keyboard.

Search for the Eden

Once you have reached the ground of the ocean, you will immediately leave your submersible to look for any evidence that could prove that you have truly found the site of mankind’s original sin. You will find for relics and fish and bring it back in your sub to do a further examination in your laboratory. The whole playthrough of this short game can last for approximately 15 minutes. 

This game contains a stunning yet creepy distorted retro visual art style with an unsettling narrative about religion, specifically Catholicism. It perfectly built up and delivered the eerie atmosphere of the story up until the end of the game. Each of the tips you will discover here can bring you close to the brink of madness. 

The ending theme of this game will particularly remind you of SOMA—another excellent survival horror game developed by Frictional Games. Thus, if you loved and enjoyed that type of game, you will also have the same experience here in Water Womb World. Considering that the underwater sci-fi horror genre is not the most explored type of game, the developer did justice in making a realistic and immersive deep-sea setting. 

Mysterious and intellectual game

In the true Yames game development fashion, Water Womb World is another highly intellectual and mysterious game from him, which makes his works a go-to game when players are looking for a great horror game that offers a controversial storyline. A highly recommended game to play.
