About the Game

Among the Waves is a philosophical Metroidvania with elements of an immersive sim, where pregnancy becomes a source of power and physics is your main weapon.

In a world inspired by Russian culture and religious aesthetics, you explore Alatyr-M — a colossal techno-fortress where science intertwines with faith.

Fight, solve puzzles, and bend gravity using the powers of the child growing inside the heroine.

Alatyr-M is a black matryoshka fortress, hiding layers of Russian culture and scientific mysticism. Here, prayers blend with code, and an artificial intelligence learns to believe.

The Nameless is a wanderer who arrived at the fortress from afar — perhaps even from the depths of time. She carries a unique, divine Child that grants her superhuman abilities and protection. Together with her, the player will roam the endless corridors of the black fortress to unravel the mystery of the Doors of Birth.

  • Exploration & Combat: use the heroine’s and her Child’s abilities to teleport, unleash shockwaves, and open new paths while experimenting with world physics and the heroine’s weight

  • Character evolution & new abilities: awaken the power of the Child and unlock the Nameless’s full toolkit. Mix and match skills to suit your rhythm and playstyle as you face unique enemies and bosses guarding the depths of Alatyr-M.

  • Unmistakable atmosphere: questions of being, faith, and religion stand alongside cynical Dromite raiders, robots, and intricate mechanisms brought to life beneath the vaults of an ancient fortress — all in a striking 2.5D style that at times shifts into full 3D.

If you love atmospheric, demanding adventures; sci-fi worlds with a philosophical core; and compelling stories about claiming one’s destiny — act now and add "Among the Waves" to your wishlist!
