The game begins with the player on the surface of open ocean, where the player is instructed to simply dive. While exploring underwater, he will find probes buried in the sun and must re-activate it to proceed. This is where he will enter new areas, where he must revive dead areas of the ocean to reintroduce absent species to their natural habitats by activating their spawning areas.
It lets you immerse in a vibrant and hidden world which burst with color and life as you explore the heart of the ocean.
Gameplay
The gameplay focuses on swimming and exploring, and having peaceful interactions with aquatic animals. Rather than the usual open-world sandbox environment typical to exploration games, Abzû’s progression is through linear and individual chapters are introduced, set in different areas of the sea with environments designed to be explored.
The game presents probes as well, which the player can find buried in the sun. To proceed, the player must re-activate these to interact spawning areas which release a small number of fish species.
At specific points in the game, players will encounter puzzles that involve activating mechanisms and must be solved to proceed.
