Benthic Love

April 24,2013 2 Comments
Tweet

Benthic Love is a game about exploring the ocean depths as an angler fish. This is not the kind of fish that can be found in a poker app, but a true sea devil with a predominantly curious appearance. The artwork is fantastic and the biology is spot on (from what I’ve explored of the game anyway). It is a fun little game that does an excellent job of marrying teaching the biology of a fascinating organism and have fun in a simple game.

Here is the author’s description:

– 5 endings!
– Learn interesting facts about the ocean depths!
– Art by the amazing Sonya Hallett!
– The ONLY LGBT-friendly anglerfish dating sim!

and the original site with a further explanation and the author’s reason for creating the game.

The game can be downloaded here.

I'm an evolutionary biologist interested in understanding why we're so drawn to video games and why we gain so much enjoyment from them.

I love skylanders. And given that it’s more than a 1.5 billion dollar enterprise, it seems that I’m not the only one. Now, I don’t love Skylanders like I do games like Deadspace, Borderlands and Mass Effect, I love it for completely different reasons. I ...

grow_up3 Why I want to play video games when I grow upMarch 7,2012

Just like rock music in the 1950s, Dungeons & Dragons in the 1980s, and death metal in the 1990s, videogaming has been demonised by parent groups. For decades, gamers were portrayed as obese social outcasts that spent hours in a dark basement hunched ...
