Siblings Miku and Taku explore an abandoned, water-filled city. But what happened to the inhabitants?

A delightful game to work on. Combat-free, with three intertwined narratives delivered as reward for exploration. Beautiful, moving and a little melancholic.

A game like no other.

I was fortunate enough to work with highly experienced industry professionals on this indie title, originally for Google Stadia and now available on most other platforms. The beauty of the art combines with the quiet atmosphere to create a relaxing experience that still has a compelling narrative.
