Francisco “Pipin” Ferreras and Biart Company to work on multiplatform game based on reality TV show “Hunting the Abyss”
The game, also known as Depth Hunter 2, will be released for Apple iOS, PC and consoles and is expected to follow launch of TV reality show on a major network next year . This is a first multiplatform game about the underwater world and underwater extreme sports like spearfishing and free diving. In the game players can feel as real underwater hunters, free divers and explorers of the Mystic ABYSS under Water Ocean, of intrigue wrecks and sink missing cities. Spearfishing is a challenging sport, as you can't use scuba while hunting. The game still has some tasks to be completed with scuba: underwater photo shooting, crabs hunting, treasure hunting, etc.
Francisco “Pipin” Ferreras is a prominent figure in the diving world and an independent producer, cinematographer, writer and director. His book, “The Dive”, sold over a million copies. Pipin teaches the art and science of Free Diving and
Spearfishing through his Deep Quest Institute and manufactures and sells free diving and spearfishing equipment through his company, Persistent. He also owns Camm Productions, which is co-producing his reality TV show, “Hunting the Abyss”.
“Pipin has gone so far beyond what scientists said was possible that the mere fact of his existence forces us to ask the question, what are the limits of a human being? His quest – to go beyond, to become a true creature of
the sea in body and mind – is nothing less than inspirational.”
