A downloadable game for Windows

INTRODUCTION

The journey begins with your birth. You are a spark of hope in what seems like a tale of star-crossed lovers, the embodiment of the Moon's desire to express its love to the ocean, defying the impossible. You are now the Moon Man, embarking on a journey to send the ocean a love letter on behalf of the Moon. You can traverse the enchanting cenote by altering the tides, lowering or raising the water levels. You can discover paths and make your own as past versions of yourself aid you throughout your adventure.

 The lunar blue crystals you find can create new platforms to walk upon and access areas you haven't seen before. In contrast, red crystals elevate you when there is no more water you can raise. Climb through obstacles, discover, and most importantly, remain hopeful that you may ignite the spark of hope in the moon men before you who have abandoned their journey and found refuge in pessimistic existentialism. Give this love a shot, and embark on a trip to the heart of the ocean. 

STORY

The Moon falls in love with the Ocean, so it sends a messenger to deliver her love letter to her. However, unfortunately, the messenger falls into a sinkhole where they discover they were not the first to embark on this quest. They have the power to change tides but with the consequence of getting wet; even though swimming is not much of an issue for our protagonist, it certainly is damaging to the letter! Try not to get it wet so the Ocean can get the complete picture... but focus on getting out and helping the others! It's the friends we made along the way that made the journey!

Install instructions

So far, this game is only available if you own a VR set! We are working on making a separate port for the PC, but the experience is far more rewarding through VR. 

Runs on Oculus and SteamVR; make sure you have either the Oculus app or SteamVR app running when you run the .exe file

im sorry

Do you have a discord channel for hints/feedback?

I'm stuck in 'Frozen Falls'. I am in the centre of the circles but I cannot figure out what the pictures are telling me to do next.

Unfortunately, we don't at the moment! The hint for that puzzle is that you have to raise the water up very high so that you can walk to the hanging icicles.
