What They Don’t Sea (NSP, XCI) ROM

What They Don’t Sea takes you on an oceanic adventure to explore a wonderful mix of beautiful and creepy environments, with drops of humor delivered by charming underwater creatures. Traverse the depths of the ocean in this 2D platformer in search of special kelp and help fund an alternative energy project!

As a marine researcher with the Rachel Carson Research Organization, RCRO, you have been sent to collect samples of a new species of algae for an alternative energy project. Explore the depths of the ocean, but be sure to watch your air levels! Friendly creatures like Bean, the jellyfish weapons dealer, help you along your journey for the…not-so-friendly creatures.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

What They Don’t Sea was created by Team Atlantis, a group of middle school girls, at the 3-week Girls Make Games summer camp in Durham, NC. The game won the Grand Prize at GMG’s Demo Day competition in 2019 and went on to raise over $40K on Kickstarter.

As part of their Demo Day prize, Team Atlantis worked with professional game developers to create the final version of the game that you can now play on the Nintendo Switch! Team Atlantis Members: Twyla O., Riley K., Catie P., Claire H.
