How it feels

A slow-burning, text-first journey where you shape your own path through a drowned world, driven by reading and decision-making rather than action or visual stimulus.

What players say

Players say the setting has promise but characters and locations feel underdeveloped. The stats and choices are confusing, and many report failing most challenges. Some like the story, but others find characters bland or dishonest.
