[i]Update 12 Jun 2018 - the WDC sale has ended, thank you everyone who participated[/I]
You saved the underwater world of planet 4546B. Here on Earth, our own oceans need your help. This weekend, we are joining forces with Valve and the ocean charity [url=http://us.whales.org/news/2018/06/makers-of-top-rated-video-game-subnautica-celebrate-world-oceans-day-by-supporting-wdc]Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC)[/url]. 15% of Unknown Worlds’ profits from the sales of Subnautica will go to WDC.
4546B is a world covered in water. Earth is not so different: 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. Startlingly, they contain around 90% of the Earth’s biomass. That means that there is far more life under the water than above it: Out of sight, and often out of mind.
Agricultural runoff, drag-net fishing, deforestation, plastic waste, even acidification via increased carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Earth’s oceans are taking damage from multiple sources. Life below the waves is dying, shrinking, and disappearing.
We made a game that takes you to an alien world, a world that needs your help. You saved that world. This weekend, we ask that you think about ways in which you can help to save the Earth.
