Everblue

Official fact sheet

Starting on dry land it isn?t long before players will be donning scuba gear and exploring the sea bed for buried treasure. On returning from each dive gamers can sell any recovered items to traders in a local town and use the funds to purchase upgrades to their diving gear. This will allow dives to last longer and reach greater depths thereby expanding the area that can be explored and the potential to discover greater treasures amongst coral reefs and sunken ships. Interaction with the inhabitants of the town will also provide specific information about the location of treasure and the opportunity to undertake missions set by them.

In Everblue the player?s main aim may be to discover buried treasure, but it is sometimes easy to just gaze at the beauty of the ocean and the myriad of marine life which the developers have so faithfully recreated. To this end, Everblue contains a free swim mode where players can dive at their leisure taking in the aquatic surroundings and even taking pictures which can be stored in an in-game album. If the photographs are deemed good enough by the town?s resident photographer players will receive special bonuses.

• Realistic underwater setting ? the feeling of scuba diving has been accurately reproduced.
• Mixture of adventure and RPG ? when players are not in the water they can interact with the town?s inhabitants, trading bounty and discovering the myths to the locations of hidden treasures.
• Non-linear gameplay ? in addition to the main story, sub-scenarios will open up as players receive missions from the town?s inhabitants.
