**Back Story**
In our day we have seen a revival of another ancient symbol of the Church, the fish. I remember first reading about it years ago and was quite impressed. Some early Gentile Christians who were persecuted had a secret sign among them. They would make a semi arc with their foot in the dirt, and if the other person opposite them did the same thing, they would know that they were Christians. The two arcs, intersecting at the front and the back, would form a sort of simple fish design.
The Greek word for fish is ichthys. Each letter would be taken and used as an acronym to stand for; Jesus Christ Son of God Savior.1 I thought that was pretty neat. Unger's Bible Dictionary states that,
'in Christian symbolism, the fish is of great significance. It is among the earliest art forms'; 'generally thought to be the symbol for Christ.'2
Unger comments that water baptism was in the mind of those who made the fish to be a symbol for Christ.
It is said that the fish lives in all, and Poseidon the God of the Sea entrusted the Mermaids to carry the tale of the gods in tattoos upon their person.

people have streamlined bodys, our hair flows in water. we have subcutanious fat, unlike apes, and more like whales and dolphins, other aquatic mammels. babys instinctivly swim, apes dont. we can regulate our breath and pulse under water. the only animal with a brain close to ours is a dolphin. our vocal cords are in a detached larnyx, like a whale, dolphin, walrus, and sealion.
Gameplay is like nothing you have seen before. I will post footage as soon as it is good enough.
Edit: Yes, it is public domain... That's fascinating.
