About the Game

In Cool Cool Water, use your wits, your foraging skills, and your sheer grit to ensure that you  survive after waking up in the desert of southern New Mexico.

Loot, scavenge, and forage the food and supplies you'll need to survive. Find campfires to cook food and rest for the night. Avoid hazards such as snakes and the terrifying tarantula hawk wasp.

Manage your hunger, thirst, energy, physical condition, and sanity with quick navigation, careful resource management, and a bit of knowledge about if that there mushroom's gonna harm you.

Find your way through a variety of locales, such as a waterfall with streams, a vast cactus desert expanse, a mysterious cave, and more.

Search every nook and cranny for special canteens and other treasures.

Pick traits to tailor your experience to your own skills, or to give yourself a mighty challenge.

Remember, never turn down some cool, cool water.
