A blue rowing boat with an outboard motor sitting in long grass on a riverbank, a fence running down to the flooded water, sheds and a pylon on the far shore — The riverbank.

A large grey stone building with a colonnaded porch and boarded windows, standing behind iron railings with empty benches and overgrown grass in front — A civic building, boarded up.

A blue and white striped lighthouse standing in a flooded plain, leaning telegraph poles and bare dead trees around it, an upturned hull half-buried in the grass — The lighthouse across the water.

A rusted pale blue tugboat beached and listing on a mudbank, tyres slung along its hull, tall grass across the foreground — A tugboat left on the mud.

A plank walkway with a rough rope handrail running between corrugated fences and leaning telegraph poles, under heavy trees — The boardwalk in.

An empty street running past a colonnaded building, a bell mounted on a post at the kerb, railings and benches along the front, weeds pushing through the tarmac — An empty street.

A long moss-covered wall with trees crowding behind it and a white building at the right, grass growing across the path in front — The wall at the edge of the village.

Flat silhouette illustration in dark maroon: a small child clinging to an adult's leg while a second figure leans down towards another child — Key art.

Ten years ago a flood cut Sanaya's village off from the rest of the country. She escaped, but her parents, friends and everyone she knew was left behind. As the flood isolated the village from the rest of the world, she permanently lost contact. Live her journey as she finally returns home to look for the people or any clues about what happened to them.

Built during the Global Game Jam in 2019 based on the theme "Home". Created by myself and two novice game developers.
