About the Game
Water’s Way Down is a 2D puzzle-platformer where you play as Caspian, a lone pilot who survives a plane crash and awakens with a strange new power... he can turn into water!
Using this ability, you’ll shift between water’s different states to solve creative, logic-based puzzles and uncover the mystery behind Caspian’s people. Rumors speak of others who shared his gift… but they all vanished without a trace...

Explore four hand-crafted areas filled with atmospheric puzzles, minimalist visuals, and hand-animated cutscenes that reveal the story bit by bit.
Use your transformations to flow through narrow spaces, float as vapor, or split into droplets, experimenting with how your environment reacts to you, and using it to your advantage.
