About
You play as a hatchling, and are tasked with uncovering the lost songs of a forgotten people. The abyss holds sunken ruins, enigmatic creatures, and secrets buried deep in silence. Your mission: find out why the Spirit of Water has forsaken your people, and uncover the secret of the Ancients, a civilization lost to time.
No combat, no set path. Use your voice to open the way, control the creatures of the reef, and uncover the many secrets of the ocean. You are guided by your curiosity, your eyes, and your ears.
What happened to the Ancients? What lies beyond the currents no one has ever crossed? How can you find the lost songs… and learn to use them to control the creatures still roaming the depths? The answers await you, hidden within the ocean’s whispers.

Inject this staight into my veins. Intuitive gameplay, GORGEOUS artwork, really orginal idea with the songs. The love that went into this is amazing. Really lovely, a really good investment. If you like Abzu, Coral etc, this will be straight up your alley.
[Disclaimer : I was gifted the game by the La folie Studio devs, I did not receive any money to play it or write this review, I tried it for approximatively 1 hour] Game has a very unique, colorful and pretty art style, in an era were gen AI exist, it is very nice to see a dev team caring about human creation. If you are looking for a cozy game with an interesting story, you should consider giving this game a chance, the songs are very easy to remember and no bugs were encountered during my playthrough ! Props to the devs on making this 1st cool game :D 100% recommending the game !
C'est un jeu très contemplatif et agréable à jouer. Les musiques sont belles et l'histoire est très immersive ! Si vous avez aimé Outer Wilds je vous recommande Wavekin !
Wow, just wow! I just got the true ending, and I definitely like it better than the other. For a studio's first game, this is pretty impressive. My only real gripe is that I wish there was more! The environment was gorgeous and fascinating and I was surprised by how well I was able to remember most of the songs. Definitely give this one a try! it was a very pleasant 3 hours. thank you La Folie Studio for making this game!
Un jeu d'exploration à l'ambiance onirique magnifique. Les rares petits défauts de gameplay (pas très gênants) sont compensés par son petit prix. Son principal défaut aura été d'arriver pendant une période très chargée en sorties, ce qui l'a fait passer sous les radars. Joué sous Ubuntu 24.04, j'ai dû forcer la compatibilité Proton 10-04, mais pour le reste le jeu a fonctionné sans aucun souci.
[Disclaimer: the game was gifted to me from the developers and I did not receive any money to write this review or to play the game.] This was a lovely game! The singing mechanic was so fun and satisfying, and it felt very rewarding finding new songs to be able to solve new puzzles. The artstyle is lovely and fits the game really well. Music and sounds are great. I loved exploring the map and figuring out the story and how to progress. I only have minor criticism. The amount of story was vast in the beginning but it felt less toward the end. I would have loved to meet even more NPCs with dialogue later in the game too, either just with more lore or have some more small quests where you get to interact with the NPCs more. I played for 4 hours and explored the entire map before finishing it but didn't end up doing all the side stuff because I couldn't figure out how to do them lol. I did not come across any bugs or issues in my playthrough. Awesome game and I had such a good time with it. Highly recommend!
Incroyablement plaisant de découvrir cet univers qui vous en met plein les yeux et les oreilles ! Une très bonne surprise ce WAVEKIN !
The game is stunning and the atmosphere is spot on. It gives me an *Outer Wilds* vibe when it comes to exploration and the way you get to know a civilisation, but with that language-learning aspect through the songs, which is really fun. I highly recommend it! <3
i just start it but it is SO good kinda feel like an old zelda but relaxing, there is so many place to explore i love it
I didn't finish playing yet, but I absolutely adore this game. It's gorgeous, the story is fascinating and the song-learning mechanic is just so cool. So far i've only encountered one section where I'm uncertain of how to continue, and personally for me that show's that it's a good balance between cozy and challenging. Especially considering it's under 10€ and feels super polished in every way, this is a must play!
