About the Game

What if every player leaves something behind for future players?

In a flooded world struggling to survive, you embark on a single-player mission – yet you’ll never be alone. You’ll constantly feel the presence of other Tidewalkers through the echoes of those that came before you.

The “Online Story-Link” feature allows you to feel the impact of previous players’ choices – and leave your own lasting mark for future players. Players start by selecting the Story-Link of a friend, favorite streamer, DigixArt team member, or stranger to follow on a mission to reconstruct or further deconstruct a world suffering from a disease that is ravaging the ocean planet.

Shape Every Player’s Future

As a Tidewalker, you will explore a strange world that will look, feel, and react differently depending on the Story-Link you choose. As a deadly disease called Plastemia threatens to kill all living things, you must steel yourself to face the numerous challenges of a world on the brink of collapse.

Meet a wide range of characters and opposing factions: ruthless Marauders who control medicine and trade, everyday survivors known as Reclaimers, and the Mystics - a mysterious group who worship the past.

Features:

  • Experience the consequences of other players' decisions while shaping the experience of future Tidewalkers.

  • Levels, NPCs and narrative choices can be totally different depending on the actions of other Tidewalkers.

  • Reveal the "echoes" of previous players - ghosts that show Tidewalkers’ actions and choices.

  • Sail through uncertain waters, gathering resources to improve your chances of survival.

  • Explore diverse floating isles set amongst unique landscapes.

  • Select different Story-Links to experience how another Tidewalker's choices can influence your playthrough experience.
