In Other Waters is an Adventure Game developed by the London-based Jump Over The Age and distributed by Fellow Traveler Games. Released in April 2020, it is available for Nintendo Switch, as well as Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh via Steam, GOG.com, and Humble Bundle.Xenobiologist Ellery Vas has been called to Gliese 677Cc by her former lover, Minae Nomura. She finds an abandoned base, an ocean of secrets, and a malfunctioning diving suit piloted by an unusual AI (the player).Diving into the sea together, they find, not the sterile environment that has been found on every other planet, but a thriving ecosystem. Exploring in search of Minae, they find that Gliese 677Cc holds a lot more secrets than what happened to one missing xenobiologist...A tabletop Role-Playing Game set after the video game is under development by Lone Archivist, titled "In Other Waters: Tidebreak".

Ability Required to Proceed: There are areas blocked off until the Equipment Upgrades are obtained. In addition, shrillsacs will cause stalks to retract, opening up new areas and soothespores will cause them to extend, potentially blocking off strong currents.

The scientific name for the Shimmer Bloom, a quasi-flower, is Solcultor Minae. In the epilogue, the planet is given the name "Minae", and the reef where the game starts is named the "Vas Reef".
