THE TRAILER

Prepare yourself for a journey where you will discover what turned Earth into a surface of water where dreams and hopes are imprisoned with human beings inside temples spread around solitary places embraced by the seas. You will need to travel towards the Northern Temple and face one of the toughest enemies of human beings: Fear, that can be about something that we don’t know as well as change. During the trailer you can look around for yourself and discover some details, looking at them. Here a list of objects that you can unlock; each achievement gives you more information about the synopsis of the complete experience that will be released afterwards.

1. It tells you something about someone

It tells you something about someone

People usually tell you something regarding their trip. They ask you for favours, or they describe their feelings. Most of the time they have lost something or someone, and they travel through the temples to see if they can found it or them.

2. Magnetic memories since 1962

Magnetic memories since 1962

What is this cassette recorder? And, most importantly, why we are listening to a recording? Who is talking? And what she is talking about?

From certain perspectives, it can take you to new places

Gates give you some hints about the temple’s location. Sometimes, especially when there is a lot of fog, it can be quite difficult to see them. Gates can guide you towards the entrance of the temple.

4. Maybe a wooden stick, maybe a gentle spirit

Maybe a wooden stick, maybe a gentle spirit

There are rough sculptures and artefacts that sometimes spring from the sea. You don’t know who put them here, and you don’t know how deep they go. However, they just narrate a story before the Big Flood.

5. If you bury it, it will live.

If you bury it, it will live.

Trees are difficult to grow in a world of salty water. Most of the time they try to survive. People have learnt how to distill water, thanks to the rainy months. However, water is a precious thing, so it’s difficult to farm anything. However, basic agriculture can still be done for food.

6. You can follow it, if you want to, and if you can see it.

You can follow it, if you want to, and if you can see it.

Temples, once reached, are communities made of several people. Some travellers go from one temple to another by boats like yours.

Mr. J.T. / C. # 0001

J.T. was looking for his friend. He met him in Temple #2039, district S.E., and they went to the same school. But then, he disappeared. He received a letter 23 years later: it’s quite strange, as there isn’t a real postal service. Basically, you could ask someone that is going towards the destination to bring the letter with them. In that letter his friend told him that all his answer could be found in Temple #2049. This is where you are going.

Temples are made of several rooms. Sometimes you help people that need some recovery time from an illness. In this case, you take them to some rooms where they can sleep until they feel better.

9. It’s made of stone but it’s close to the sky

It’s made of stone but it’s close to the sky

You don’t know who built the temples, or if they were already here before the Big Flood. However, they are sometimes intricately crafted, signs that artists and architects worked on the main structure, probably hundreds of years before.

10. You can see it as religion, but also as glory

You can see it as religion, but also as glory

Altars have the power to grow hope inside people. They are usually used to recover from illnesses.

11. Marmalade, Honey or Flowers

Marmalade, Honey or Flowers

With the poor agricultural products from the temples human beings can, however, make some delicious things. Marmalades, Honey and food made from flowers are rare, but extremely appreciated!

12. K.L. / C. #0372

K.L. / C. #0372

K.L. injured herself while she was trying to reach Temple #2048. When you saw here, she was laying on the seashore. You are bringing her to the recovery room in the middle of the temple. After few days she will be able to continue her journey, at least when she finds a new boat.

13. If you become hungry or thirsty, you should have them with you

If you become hungry or thirsty, you should have them with you

Basic supplies are really important because you know where the temples are, but there isn’t a precise way to know where you are going in the open sea. For that reason, you can only guess how long the journey will take towards a new temple, but you need to be able to survive more days if something goes wrong.

14. You can get lost… In this case you should try another way

You can get lost… In this case you should try another way

You reached the Northern Temple and here you are… It really won’t be easy to reach the end of this journey...

The Northern Temple is the highest temple of your land. Nobody ever saw it, and you had to travel for six months in order to reach it.

16. It can be made of bricks and mortar, but also of beliefs and dreams.

It can be made of bricks and mortar, but also of beliefs and dreams.

You don’t know what happened here. But you know, as you are approaching it, that something scares you. But you need to go forward, if you want to be free.

17. Mr. M.H. / C# 0549

Mr. M.H. / C# 0549

M.H., known as The Doctor, asked to come with you to the Northern Temple. You don’t know why, as nobody wants to go to that Temple (or even knows its existence). You don’t have any information, about who lives here, why, and since when. Why did The Doctor come with you to this place? And, moreover, what happened to Earth?
