About Abzu
Abzu is a single player puzzle adventure from developer Giant Squid, published by 505 Games. It released on August 2, 2016, for PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch. The game is played from a third person view and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and PEGI 7.
You control a lone diver who explores a deep ocean environment, swimming through open water, caves, and sunken structures. The game is presented as an indie title with an action and fantasy flavor, and its educational theme draws on ancient mythology. Much of the experience is about moving through the water and discovering what lies beneath the surface.
The game's title is taken from an ancient Sumerian phrase, and the world is built around the idea of a sea that once supported a lost civilization. Exploration and puzzle solving are the main focus, with no spoken dialogue to guide the story.
