Description
About This Game
Left alone in a drowned world, a robot yearns to experience water firsthand. Having lost its teammates in a tsunami, its last wish is to reunite with them. This is a story about isolation, self-destruction, and the cost of desire.
Struggle against environmental puzzles that bar you from achieving your dream. Face enemies and use them as your pavement for your journey; you have to do what it takes to survive.
You are alone in your journey, but there will be guests who pass you by. They may offer advice and point you in your way, but in the end, they are just mere witness to your journey.
To experience water firsthand, disarming your own safety systems - waterproof gear - is the only way to move forward. The more you lose, the farther you will go. Accept the anxiety and tension you feel from trading abilities and power for the robot to complete its journey.
Sometimes, the environment reveals more than words. Water is a symbol present throughout Qiú; it is both a threat and a symbol. Through its various forms, you get to experience a story about longing, memory, and the beauty of destruction.
