The Weight of the Ocean

The Weight of the Ocean is a 2D, story-driven game designed to bring attention and awareness to imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is a phenomenon where someone of proper qualification feels out of place, under-qualified, and undeserving of their accomplishments. This game is a 30-minute story following a submarine technician working in a high-stakes expedition with researchers who are at the top of their field. As the expedition progresses, feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, social isolation, and unfair juxtaposition will amplify the severity of the feelings related to imposter syndrome.
