Everblue is an adventure game based on scuba diving. It is the first of the Everblue series and was followed by Everblue 2. It was released in Japan and Europe, but not in North America. It predates developer Arika's 2007 game Endless Ocean (Forever Blue in Japan). Both games share similar a theme of underwater scuba diving and photography, though Endless Ocean presented a third person perspective and significantly less focus on salvaging or ship. In 2002 it received a sequel, Everblue 2.
Plot
The player plays as Leo, a novice scuba diver, searching for treasure and learning about marine animal life.

The player takes the roll of a scuba diver salvaging items from sunken ships and photographing underwater wildlife while either avoiding or confronting predators like sharks. The game also features an inventory system for collected objects, healing items, weapons, and tools, as well as an above water town with shops and NPCs.

Everblue received mixed reviews. GameSpot critics gave it a 4.2/10. Famitsu scored it 31 out of 40.[1]
