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

Actually liked it just wish there was a part 2. I'm not sure why the ratings are also low. I mean it's kind of a strange game and there amis a lot of detail and places but you can't freely explore all of them which kindof sucks but it was still fun to play. The battles require strategic thinking to win in some instances but I beat the game and the extra games and now am looking for another one like this one

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.

Pretty nice, atmospheric game with nice music and actually pretty good turn based combat. The writing is pretty cringeworthy a times though (probably partly because of clumsy translation) and the game cuts short just as it gets interesting. That was probably the most upsetting thing about it (which means it started to be pretty enjoyable). Let's hope there'll be sequel.
