The ocean awaits you...

The waves gently rock us back and forth as we swim together, a pod of dolphins cruising through the vast expanse of the ocean. We chatter and chirp to one another, sharing stories of our adventures and experiences. Suddenly, a new voice joins the conversation, one that we've never heard before. It's a young dolphin, full of energy and enthusiasm, eager to explore the world around us. We welcome it into our pod and together we set off on a new adventure, ready to discover all the wonders that the ocean has to offer.

About the Game

Get ready to discover the wonders of the ocean in "A Dolphin's Tale", an immersive solo or cooperative narrative-based game where you become a daring dolphin exploring the vast blue depths.

As you journey through the mysterious underwater world, you'll encounter dangerous predators and other obstacles that require your quick thinking and creativity to overcome. With each choice you make, you'll shape the direction of your adventure, leading to unique and memorable experiences every time you play.

But you need to be cautious, as there can always be something lurking around the coral.

The Game Mechanics

Community Copies

As I believe that everyone should have access to fun and entertainment, regardless of their financial situation, I'm happy to offer Community Copies for 'A Dolphin's Tale'. If you can't afford to purchase the game, feel free to get one of these copies.

  • For every purchase, I will add one extra copy to the Community Copies pool.
  • If your payment is above the minimum price, I'll add an additional copy to the pool.

And remember, dolphins are very social creatures and live together in pods. Pod life provides individuals with companionship, which is important to them. They look after one another, cooperate to catch food, raise their young, and defend each other from predators. They also play together. So help me bring more dolphins into our pod by sharing and playing this game with more people!
