It is more interested in authenticity of movement than realism of the actual animals. There is a stylised look to the creatures and worlds of Abzu. Deactivating these structures releases lost creatures into the wild and restores the balance of the ecosystems. As the player explores, a great white shark acts like a spiritual guide, teasing her in the right direction to discover large pyramid structures. A female diver explores the seas and oceans of an unnamed world interacting with the undersea creatures that inhabit it. It's a guided exploration of a strange undersea world, and for one playthrough at least, was just about worth the effort. Much like "Journey" "Abzu" can be considered much more like an experience, than a true game, given that there is very little active narrative and not much in the way of goals to achieve. "Abzu" is a spiritual successor to the popular "walking simulator" video game "Journey" from 2012.
