Help Support Real-life Dolphins and Whales Through Life Below's Partnership with WDC!

Developed by Megapop and published by Kasedo Games, Life Below is a city builder set in the ocean. The title invites players to shape thriving coral reefs, help collapsing ecosystems, and uncover the heartfelt story narrated by Rhianna Pratchett.

Recently, the team partnered up with Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC henceforth) to release a special supporter pack that will give 100% of its net revenue to WDC's conservation efforts. Founded in 1987, the wildlife charity has been dedicated to the conservation and welfare of whales, dolphins, and porpoises worldwide. You can learn more about them in their About Us section, where you can also find how to further support their cause, such as via donations, memberships, and partnerships.

By purchasing it, players will also get some in-game content through three unique visitor species: the common bottlenose dolphin, the Atlantic spotted dolphin, and the harbour porpoise. Players who would like to know more about these species will find them in the in-game guidebook.

Sally Ward, Head of Digital Partnerships at WDC, had the following to say:

“Whales and dolphins are some of the most intelligent and fascinating beings in our oceans, and they play a vital role in overcoming the climate and biodiversity crises. Most of humanity share a deep love for these wonderful beings, yet they are increasingly at risk by human-caused threats like pollution, hunting and entanglement in fishing gear. Partnerships like this truly inspire people to connect with marine life in new ways. We find it particularly positive that this comes from a Norwegian developer, a country well known for controversial whale hunting. A healthy planet needs a thriving ocean, and that means more whales and dolphins, not fewer.”

Lise Lie, Game Director on Life Below, added:

“Life Below has always been about helping people play with the beauty and wonder of the ocean. When dolphins suddenly arrive at a reef you have spent hours caring for, it creates a very emotional connection. We hope the game can inspire curiosity, hope, and even a deeper love for the magic of marine life.”

Life Belowis set to release on the 26th of May, and it's got a demo available on Steam! If you'd like to support the cause, the supporter pack will be available upon launch.
