## Caption

comment “WATERS” and i’ll send you the link to try it yourself

imagine being stranded alone on a tiny boat, no map, no help, just a compass, the stars, and the sounds around you

that’s the entire game, one solo dev built a survival horror experience around thalassophobia, the fear of the open sea

no mini-map, you navigate by compass, stars and sound alone, and the only rule is do not fall into the water

it’s tense, quiet, and it stays with you long after you stop playing

→ solo indie dev, one person
→ navigate using only compass, stars & sound
→ no mini-map, no hand-holding
→ one rule: do not fall in

it’s called Open Waters
