Upcoming: Pakicetus Redux
Scheduled for an August, 2024 release, Pakicetus Redux is a re-imagining of our first science-based video game Pakicetus. With a re-focus on integrating an evolving story that ties together geological phenomena and the progression of player goals through a sequence of missions, the new version of Pakicetus will provide a new look at the marine geology and hydrothermal vents of the deep sea. |
Venture Within
Venture Within, a deep-sea roguelite game, takes you inside magically altered, deep-sea hydrothermal vents. As Alice Tharp, daughter of the famous Geomancer Dr. Talia Tharp, you travel to the submarine, Simon, to join your mother’s research expedition. When you arrive, the entire expedition team is missing! To find them, climb your way through vent tower walls, battle magically altered creatures, and avoid natural hazards, while upgrading your skills!

Enjoy a window into the deep-sea marine geology of hydrothermal vents. In game geologic events, scientific items, minerals and rocks, vent types, and the descriptions of hydrothermal circulation are all based on scientific data and practices. Game development was supported by National Science Foundation grant #OCE-1753354.
