About the Game

You are stranded and alone on a boat in the middle of a sunken world, fighting to escape the jaws of a god-like leviathan. You must keep the boat moving fast, by feeding fish you catch with your harpoon to the boat's bio-engine. If its power gets too low, the leviathan will start getting closer.

Inspired by the haunting artwork of Simon Stålenhag, this hand-drawn side-scroller forces you to think strategically and work quickly under pressure in order to evade a watery death. As you sail onwards in hope of eventual rescue, you will encounter massive megastructures and the giant rotting frames of mysterious machines. Within them hide dangerous creatures and deadly obstacles, their numbers and hostility increasing and you venture further into this strange and uncaring world.

Catch fish and floating debris with your harpoon.

Feed fish to the bio-engine.

Repair holes in the boat with gathered scrap-metal.

Fight off dangerous enemies with your harpoon.

Don't let the leviathan catch up.
