Announcing Quiet Water
Three siblings, three days, one August. Our first game with no fail state.
Quiet Water is a narrative adventure set across one August at a lake house, and it is the least mechanical thing we have ever built. You play three siblings on three separate days. What one of them notices changes what the others are able to say.
There is no combat, no inventory and no way to lose. The only mechanic is attention. We have been careful with that word — it is not a euphemism for a walking simulator, and there is a real system underneath. What you look at is recorded, and the dialogue available to the next sibling is assembled from it.
It is written by Merve Yıldız and it has taken three years, which is longer than anything else we have made and roughly what we expected.
Quiet Water comes to Steam and PlayStation 5 in March 2027.
