Fathom is certainly different. You transform from a seagull into a dolphin to carry out a quest for bits of a magical trident.

Motion as a seagull is sustained by pressing the fire button to flap the wings, or alternatively Q, Y or V on the keyboard, with left and right stick, or S, K and D, K on the keys for left and right movement. While flying, touching clouds gains you energy and hitting ravens depletes it. In the volcanic area, the lava loses energy at certain levels, so you are constantly fighting against a dropping figure on the screen, plus a female voice warning "Beware your energy, mortal".

For the transition from the form of a seagull to that of a dolphin, press F or L key to pull the joystick towards you while pressing the fire button. While moving through the sea, try to avoid jellyfish, crabs, sharks and the octopus guarding the wreck, as they all take energy away, as do encounters with the coral.
