To achieve Ocean Decade Challenge no. 10, collaboration between creative, scientific, and cultural sectors is key.
CREAMARE, co-funded by the EU under the CREA-CULT-2021-COOP call, establishes a transnational framework to connect game designers, researchers, and cultural institutions in creating digital products that promote Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) and highlight environmental threats.
This is exemplified by a Serious Game, where players explore 3D replicas of nine real UCH sites in the Mediterranean, such as the Alexandria Lighthouse and Caesarea’s Herodian Harbor. Through a first-person adventure with a strong narrative, players face challenges and solve puzzles, learning about UCH preservation and ocean sustainability.
