An adventure game about a girl leading her floating village on the course of a great fish migration. Herd sea creatures, protect them from danger, and surf across both beautiful scenery and troubled waters.
Long ago, people lived underwater. Until Su, the life-giving spirit of the sea, cast them out for their betrayal. Now, humans are cursed to walk on the water's surface, unable to reach below it. Yet the sea reaches out, taking and giving as it sees fit.
Once in a generation, both humans and fish embark on a great migration towards richer waters. With the sudden loss of her parents, Hedi must take up their role as guides and lead the way for her floating village. A juvenile fish is her steadfast companion in both her journey and her grief.
All along the way, fish await the call of the migration. As Hedi, your mission is to find different species and lead them to join the pilgrimage. Other creatures will stand in your way and you will have to fight off those who mean to harm your herds.
Experience the freedom of the sea with your trusty kite that simultaneously acts as a surfboard, sail, and parachute. Navigate both serene shallows and troubled waters by surfing the waves, jumping above obstacles, and gently gliding through the air.
