About This Game

The Hook

Alongside your trusty companion, embark on a long sail through a flooded world, meet variety different dogs. and help them escape their mundane canine lives by ferrying them across a misty sea.

Listen to their stories of self-discovery, loss, and acceptance. As, despite their small stature, they're so much more than just pets.

Losing your spark or looking for the place to belong is explored through the eyes of a human's best friend with their unique perspective. To them, a volcano is a roaring beast, and the lighthouse is simply a very tall candle.

And every voyage leads to a revelation or a quiet acceptance.

The Line

Learn to read the map, discover new islands, fight against the forces of nature or work with them. By completing the requests, unlock new upgrades and progress to new areas with more challenges to endure and more stories to hear. All the while, enjoy the stunning, retro-visual scenery of a world that once was.

And as you drift pass the sunken churches and broken bridges, you might start to wonder – what happened to this world? How can this be all that is left of it? And why do all those dogs want to go beyond the horizon? Maybe this is the one tale you're still waiting to hear.

The Sinker

When you want to catch a break, pull out your trusty rod and fish for the variety of sea critters. Read through your journal to to learn more about the dog breeds you've already met. Or just spend time customizing your lovely boat. Truly learn to appreciate the quiet moments with your cute companion.
