BRAND NEW!!!!
When The River Runs Dry now supports most commonly used game controllers! If your controller isn't supported, message us so we can work on expanding support for everyone to be able to play our game!
-----------------------------------------------------
Luna has lived alone at the bottom of the mountain for as long as she can remember, spending her days collecting gems and returning to the river to replenish her water supply. But now, the river has slowed to a trickle, and a new deer has moved into the area.
There's not enough water to survive.
After a strange dream of mystical powers, Luna sets off on a quest to find out what (or who) is causing the river to run dry. Along the way she meets new animal friends and tries her best to survive the dangers of the wild.
When The River Runs Dry is a game that joins together the adventure, narrative, and survival genres. With 2D art set in a 3D environment, there is a whole world to explore with many different landscapes and tons of different characters to meet!
