The Ocean is not Water
An eldritch incremental game where you are an ancient shark devouring fish, reality, and the concept of depth itself. Hunt with sonar, collect bioluminescent jellyfish, command a brood, dream the dreams of dead gods, and descend through layers of cosmic progression. The ocean is not water.
