The Weight of the Ocean





The Weight of the Ocean
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. The goal is to showcase to users the debilitating feelings of imposter syndrome and bring awareness to the subject as a whole.
The Weight of the Ocean is a 2D, story-driven video game designed to bring attention and awareness to imposter syndrome.
