What is whale fall? - When a whale dies and its carcass falls over 1000m to the ocean floor it creates a localised ecosystem that can sustain other organisms for decades.

Whale Fall is a short exploration game where you roam an area of the deep sea and encounter the mysterious ecosystem that is created when a whale falls to the ocean floor. There are many silly creatures to find who have also arrived at the whale bones to eat their fill. There is no specific goal other than to experience this world that is otherwise out of reach.

The Windows/Mac downloadable version will give you the best gameplay experience!

There are some visual artefacts in the Browser/WebGL version (like some lines flashing across the screen if you swim up too far) but otherwise it works.
