Get Stories From the Cores for PC

Stories From the Cores is a suite of three single-player mini-games about deep-ocean core science. You join science bot Rovee on three expeditions with the International Ocean Discovery Project, drilling samples from below the ocean floor, comparing layers, investigating hypotheses and piecing together stories of life on Earth.

Explore and investigate

The games combine multiple-choice questions, point-and-click exploration of 3D environments with Rovee, collecting mineral samples for scientific research and matching games. They are based on current scientific data; the microbes have googly eyes.

Three expeditions

• Mysteries of the Core: investigate why bits of land plants appear in cores drilled far offshore beneath the seafloor.
• Deep Dark Life: learn how microbes live inside rocks hundreds of feet below the seafloor, including discoveries by the Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations.
• Die-no-saur: explore what dinosaurs and plankton have in common, and what happened when dinosaurs, plankton and much other life went extinct.
