A downloadable game for Windows

A few months ago, the world drowned.

The sea rose faster than anyone could flee.
Cities vanished beneath the tide, roads turned to rivers, and the old world dissolved into salt and silence.

Now, the last survivors cling to whatever still rises above the waves: broken skyscrapers, weathered cliffs, and the rusting skeletons of ships.

You are the Operator, stranded on a forgotten radio relay tower, surrounded by endless ocean.
You’ve scraped together enough to survive: a water collector, a fishing pole, a patchwork of scavenged supplies.

After weeks of repairs, the tower hums back to life.
Its transmitters are dead, your own voice cannot leave this place.
But its receivers still work. At sundown, the static shifts. The first signal is coming.

Each night, three voices will arrive.
You may pass one onward , keeping it alive.
The rest will fade into silence.

You cannot explain yourself.
You cannot ask for help.
All you can do is listen and relay.

The question isn’t who is most urgent.
The question is: what matters to you?

Cool little game with potential but it still needs work, I encountered a few bugs.

The gameplay loop is simple but efficient, it keeps you entertained.

Some of the radio signals can be pretty funny, somehow "cookies can collapse civilization" haha!

Now for what I think could be improved :

  1. Longer text boxes, sometimes you don't have the time to read them
  2. Imo the character could move a little faster
  3. Under the day, there sould be a clock to tell you what time it is, because the game tells you radio signals come at 18:00 but you don't know when it is in the game.

Other than that, it's a great game with an original and intersting idea!
