About

A rogue-lite river journey through the backwaters of a forgotten post-societal America. Forage, craft, evade predators.

Travel by foot and by raft down a procedurally-generated river as you scrounge for resources, craft tools, remedy afflictions, evade the vicious wildlife, and most importantly, stay ahead of the coming rains.
Storyline

In a forgotten, post-societal America swallowed by an endless flood, the land has broken apart into scattered islands linked only by a vast, winding river. A young girl named Scout, joined by her loyal dog, sets out downstream on a makeshift raft in search of safety. Their journey carries them through overgrown backwaters and the crumbling remnants of a world left behind. Alone against the wilderness, Scout must endure the elements and the dangers of the river to keep moving forward.

A young girl named Scout, joined by her loyal dog, sets out downstream on a makeshift raft in search of safety. Their journey carries them through overgrown backwaters and the crumbling remnants of a world left behind. Alone against the wilderness, Scout must endure the elements and the dangers of the river to keep moving forward.",

Forage, craft, evade predators.\n\nTravel by foot and by raft down a procedurally-generated river as you scrounge for resources, craft tools, remedy afflictions, evade the vicious wildlife, and most importantly, stay ahead of the coming rains.",
