They Breathe is a short journey into the depths of a forest filled with water. As you swim deeper, it's up to you to figure out the rules of an insidious ecosystem where nothing is as it first seems, and where everyone is after the same precious resource – oxygen!

You guide a lone frog deeper into a flooded forest, where oxygen is a scarce resource and the ecosystem's rules are not immediately clear.
Swim through each area, collect rising air bubbles to keep breathing, and navigate around creatures that interact with oxygen in different ways. You can also find and rescue frogs along the way.
As you descend, observe the creatures and environment to work out how the forest functions. The story unfolds without dialogue through what you encounter and do.
Reviewers often praise the eerie atmosphere, creature designs, and story told through visuals and sound rather than dialogue. Some describe the short journey and simple evasion-focused play as engaging, while others find the swimming repetitive or the experience too brief; reactions to its story and twist also vary.
