關於此遊戲

Thawed Waters is a mature emotional story experienced through hardcore boat-poling gameplay when every wrong move leads to losses and each stamina point counts!

Thawed Waters is not another farming sim, nor rogue-like, but pure classic isometric action with a problematic topic that needs to be raised in video games.

It's time to look into the ugliest corner of human life - animal testing.

"Pandemic of the second decade was nothing compared to what global warming melted in the Arctic later, freeing bacteria buried by nature millions of years ago. One of the thawed viruses ruthlessly attacked not only people but also animals of all kinds. Multiple attempts to develop a vaccine before the world plunged into chaos were unsuccessful, and a few remnants scattered across the globe lost all hope of surviving."
Stepan, head of Pukhovka village, 2047



NAVIGATE THE BOAT

Survive the planetary flood in the rusty boat with the pole in your hands! Choose directions wisely and apply force carefully to minimise rocking and tilting and avoid capsizing. Go around obstacles with the surgeon’s precision to keep the boat in one piece. Mistakes cost precious live cargo and materials, and the old man's stamina is a finite resource. Every decision is critical.

RESCUE AND SIT RABBITS

Finding the perfect time to pick rabbits is one side of the problem. How about sitting jumpy animals around the boat to achieve balance? The boat's behaviour depends on it, and therefore your life! Don’t miss a safe zone to release your fellow travellers or drown together and be forgotten.

FIGHT FATIGUE

Mental and physical fatigue are your eternal silent companions, that you have to deal with to survive. Collect and identify Siberian herbs and berries, mix them and brew a cosy cup of tea in safe zones to ease physical fatigue. Or not too cosy and get some unexpected side effects. Live through events of your past as mini-games to reduce or increase mental fatigue when dreaming next to the bonfire.

UPGRADE AND MODIFY

Your only ally, a mysterious prosthetic arm, holds the key to survival. Upgrade it with unique mods, and unleash its potential to travel further, push stronger, and save more lives. The boat barely stays afloat, but natural wit and a bit of luck will get you some cool artefacts increasing the boat’s stability or strength when it is needed the most.

LIVE THROUGH APOCALYPTICAL EVENTS

Fight the forces of nature to save it and give humanity another chance. Find a new meaning in life and watch how the broken old man transforms physically and mentally. Discover all the endings of this unusual story of personal salvation through rescuing the tiniest creatures. Explore the dark and submerged corners of the dying Siberian hinterland with a touch of cyberpunk.
