9 itemsAbout the Game
Navigate the small ship and its Crew in a short Adventure. Explore the mysterious, hostile Swamp in North-East Germany filled with secrets and horrors.
Experience the condensed story of the inquisitive Professor and the gruff Captain. The longer they stay in the muddy waters, the greater the impact on their psyche - except if they escape fast enough.
The Story is linear - but it is your decision, how the protagonists process the events and what consequences they draw.
[+] Lovecraftian Horror - but without jumpscares nor graphical violence!
[+] Navigate the Ship out of a Top-Down perspective. Only Mouse and Keyboard needed.
[+] Gather Collectibles to learn more about the unique Lore.
[+] Dynamic, but condensed Narrative.
