About the Game




Atlantis is sinking. It hasn’t done that before... so everyone is pretty freaked out.



Meet and befriend quirky Atlanteans, make use of strategic seashells, and map out your escape plan as you ride your turtle across the island. Monsters have crawled out from the ocean depths to wreck your home, and you will need more than brute force to take them down.

Vivean doubts your leadership skills, Jorath misses his home comforts, and Footwork is trying to motivate everyone with his new gym routine. You should probably check in on them.



Make sure to protect your turtle. Not just because he's a nice ride and a good listener, but also as his ability to manipulate time is your only chance of survival.

Even with his powers, you'll need to train your team and search for powerful artefacts to have a chance at navigating the monster ridden island. Regardless of which route you take, some sacrifices cannot be avoided on your way to the summit. But as long as you and your turtle are alive, you can keep pressing forward!



Oh... you died? Good thing you’re stuck in a time loop! Equipped with hindsight, foresight, and one or two oversights, you’ll get closer and closer to escape with each run.

You may not defeat every enemy or be able to help all your friends on your first try, but get to know your team, and you’ll soon understand how to play your cards right.



What can you expect as you attempt to escape?

  • Race against the tide as Atlantis sinks into the sea behind you
  • Face monsters in turn-based tactical battles, where finding the right position for each Atlantean determines victory or defeat
  • Get to know your team as you encounter new events, earn their friendship through conversations and unlock new abilities as they level up in battle
  • Try, fail, and try again! Combine powerful artefacts with the skills from your team, improvise to overcome new challenges and make meaningful sacrifices to survive!
