About this game

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

It's the end of the world. The ultra-rich might be headed to Mars. Explore a flooded planet, discover islands and find allies — can you escape in time?

Amid a great climate catastrophe, the flooded region of Hightower has become a kind of safe zone between the two dry regions: the nearly entirely ravaged land of the War Zone, and the fortified city of Alphaville, where the obscenely wealthy live behind giant walls. Rumors that the rich are escaping to Mars abound. Travel a submerged world by boat as a humble survivor — pick up friends, battle insurgents and steal food — all while fighting to find out if the rumors are true. Can you make it onto the rocket in this atmospheric, story-driven adventure?

Features:

• Explore a rich, story-driven 3D adventure filled with memorable characters, including friends, foes and creatures
• Discover beautiful urban islands and experience new elements of the story
• Engage in turn-based combat with a puzzle-solving twist
• An exclusive Highwater Pirate Radio soundtrack and original musical performances by in-game characters color an immersive experience!

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely mediocre. The mechanics are simple and unchallenging. The maps are poorly constructed and sparse. Pretensions of literature, but thematically shallow with dull writing and predictable dialog. Untransportive world mostly full of empty space with clearly marked paths. No choice or agency, even the illusory kind, anywhere. I also couldn't say enough about how bad the music is, and it didn't stop when I turned it off in the settings. It seems like they fixed the memory bug, but who cares.

Good fight design with usable objects and pulling enemies off a roof. But only playable at low detail, otherwise there are full screen graphical glitches from the 10th location. Which means low textures too.

I like this game, pleasent to play but there are issues. Early in the game you get a fishing rod, an essential combat item that i was certain i equipped. When i tried using it in combat it wasnt there and no way to win without it, i was softlocked with no option but to reload the previous chapter and do it again. If your setup isnt right before a fight you're going back to the last chapter, its annoying. This game could use a traditional save system to load save points, not chapters.
