International Waters

The year is 2008. You pick up a bargain bin platformer for your Game Station 3000 and dive into International Waters, a solo-developed adventure that blends exploration with fast-paced action. As you journey, you uncover a dark, corrupted world and your place within it, steering toward a colossal revelation.

Two intertwined experiences

The game splits into two complementary halves that marry into a single, cohesive quest.

• Ocean side: A 3D open sea world you navigate by boat. Use your radar to chart destinations that lead to diverse platforming levels scattered across the waters.
• Platformer side: A collection of 2D platforming levels you conquer to earn keys and unlock more of the world. Beat these stages to advance the story and reveal hidden areas.

What to expect

• 20+ platforming levels that challenge timing, precision, and quick reflexes.
• 15 boss fights that test strategy and adaptation across both lanes of the game.
• 5 core mechanics to master: Move, Jump, Shoot, Blink, Parry.
• Boat exploration and the ability to drive a makeshift vessel between islands and regions.
• Bus sequences that echo your journey through the world’s strange corridors.

Audio, visuals, and atmosphere

• Original soundtrack featuring 30+ songs to accompany every voyage and battle.
• Original animations, art, 3D assets, sound effects, and textures crafted to immerse you in a haunting, immersive world.

Story and progression

After customizing your character and finishing the tutorial, you sail with two companions on a voyage into uncharted waters. As you navigate toward a massive island, you uncover its purpose, origins, and the monster that shapes this realm. The more keys you collect from platforming victories, the more of the world you reveal and understand.

Enter The World, chase the truth, and decide your place in a dark, corrupted ocean that hides more than it seems.
