Original score written and produced by Michael Kirby Ward
"Diluvion's most notable accomplishment is its score, a beaut symphony that haunts every mile you journey in-game"
-Gamespot

-Hardcore Gamer
"The score for this game is impeccable."
-GameRaven
"It's without a doubt one of the game's best elements, with many tracks sounding like they'd belong in a film."
-GameReactor UK
"I think the best part of Diluvion has to be the original soundtrack. The music was perfect."
-The Nerd Stash
"A gorgeous, almost whimsical score that travels with you as you glide through the deep"
-Twinfinite
"Diluvion possesses a cinema-quality soundtrack that compliments its ethereal dream-like landscapes."

”And the Triumph of Justice from Countless Thousands is exactly what we need right now, a bit of fun.”

Forever bound, Earth and Sun make their way amid the dust lanes and luminous highways of the Milky Way. The heat of hot plasma shimmers against the blues and greens of a living planet. One, a roiling, gaseous star infused with thermonuclear energy. The other, a cool watery ball of silicon and iron. When we gaze upon the Sun, we glimpse Earth's fiery birth within the limitless sweep of cosmic time.

This film traces the rise of the Great White Shark 11 million years ago in the wake of dramatic changes in Earth's landmasses and climate.

This film is the result of a decade of filming white sharks by renowned cameraman Andy Casagrande.
