About the Game

The lawless are loyal to you, the powerful kneel before you, the wealthy empty their coffers for you—

the world is drowned, and no matter how they once scorned or despised you, when they struggle in the water... Rescuer, their life or death is in your hands alone.

Every voyage builds your renown.

Every rescue brings you one step closer to the pinnacle of power.

You will decide who boards your ark, and who is devoured by the tide. But be careful, Rescuer. The higher you climb, the further you drift from the earnest heart you once had.

If you still hold on to kindness, will that kindness be your pass, or your epitaph?

  • Ending and Branch Options:

    Every option is of vital importance. That face sticking out of the water, would you choose to run away in panic or pick it up?

  • Collection and Partnership System

    Bring the survivors back to the base and set off on the journey together with them. They possess unique skills and fight side by side with you.

  • Unique "guilt" mechanism:

    Here, rest is not replenishment but poison. When you stop, the anxiety called "responsibility" will devour your reason and force you to charge blindly at all costs - even towards death.

  • Intuitive twin-paddle control

    Abandon the complex WASD. You only need to control the left and right OARS. This minimalist operation design not only simulates the real feeling of rowing but also enables you to focus more on the journey of survival.

Add "The Rescuer's Escape " to your wishlist, board your boat, and set sail!

A comprehensive reconstruction of the game's art is underway! The current screenshots show some of the old version's scenes. The new style is being implemented in full swing. Stay tuned!
