Water Womb World is a shortnote about 15 minutes art-horror PC game released in 2020 by Yames, the creator of Discover My Body. The game follows the unnamed protagonist, a Catholic researcher exploring the ocean floor in search of evidence of the place where humanity fell from grace. He hopes to find proof of what he believes to be the truth of humanity's origin: that mankind did not originate on land in the Garden of Eden, but within the darkest reaches of the sea.Water Womb World can be purchased under a pay-what-you-want scheme on Yames's itch.io site here.Due to the short length of the game, spoilers have been left unmarked.

Title Drop: The red "people" state "WATER WOMB WORLD" when the protagonist meets them for the first time, then again when he swims back out to join them at the end of the game.

Scrolling Text: The protagonist's text speed eventually slows to a crawl as they become increasingly lethargic and assimilated into the "divine" towards the end of the game.

Corrupt Church: The protagonist implies the Catholic church to be corrupt, mentioning that there are inside forces within the Vatican acting to suppress the aquatic origin of humanity and any researchers studying it.

comment
The Conspiracy: After finding an abandoned dive mask marked with Christian imagery, the protagonist states that there are forces within the Catholic church aware of the truth of humanity's aquatic origins, conspiring to prevent the public from learning about the "aqua-Edenic theory" and possibly eliminating other researchers seeking evidence of it.

Eldritch Ocean Abyss: Outside his encampment at the bottom of the sea, the protagonist finds impossibly old and at times indescribable fish, pieces of coral containing human neurons, and massive, bizarre "angels" and "people" who speak in cryptic sentence fragments.

comment
Angelic Abomination: The "angel" the protagonist encounters outside his ship after his lights go out the first time looks like something between a robed bishop and a giant squid and cryptically warns him that he will leave as a human or he will "join God in full-flesh" in the womb of origin.

Cosmic Horror Story
 Water Womb World (Video Game) / int_6a1c2a6
comment
Cosmic Horror Story: The game incorporates elements of cosmic horror along with Catholic theology as the protagonist discovers cryptic evidence for the aquatic origins of humanity at the bottom of the sea. The protagonist believes everything they find to be real evidence of the divine up until the end, when they choose to become one of the colossal red entities that they identified as being the sinless human descendants of Adam and Eve.

comment
Transformation Horror: It's subtle, but checking the protagonist's appearance in the mirror over the course of the game reveals his eyes becoming darker. His gloves are also replaced by scaled claws in the final sifting segment, reflecting his growing assimilation with whatever supernatural force he's been making contact with.

Time Abyss: The protagonist at one point finds a fish that's apparently been alive since the Jurassic Period, making it hundreds of millions of years old. The next fish he finds similarly precedes "multiple geologic periods."

comment
Long-Lived: The forms of life that apparently exist around the aquatic place of origin seem to live exceptionally long lives. One of the Adamite sons is estimated to have lived for a millennium, while an ancient fish the protagonist catches is figured to be about 10,000 years old. Another fish dates back to the Jurassic period.

Angels, Devils and Squid: The "angel" that the protagonist meets looks like some combination of a bishop and a giant squid, while the entities that the protagonist believes to be the sinless descendents of Adam and Eve look more like colossal pillars of red "coral" than anything human.
