What it is about
You’re survivors of a wreck, drifting together on scraps of debris, miles from land. Supplies are gone, thirst gnaws at you, and the water around you is never still. Something swims beneath. Something hungry. Required Materials: A D6 die Notepad, recording device, notes app (something to record the adventure) Each player defines: Who you were before the wreck (sailor, tourist, prisoner, scientist, etc.). One hope (someone you want to see again, something you must accomplish). One fear (what you can’t face about death… or the water). Structure of Play: Play progresses in phases of survival - each cycle is a day and a night. By day : sun, thirst, and paranoia erode you. By night : the water stirs, and something surfaces . Estimated Play Time: Around 1-2 hours. Longer if your group really digs into the improvisational nature of the game. Probably shorter if playing single player.
