In a city where the water never recedes, three strangers begin their journey on a worn-out workboat.
About
The City Where Water Never Recedes
A Great Subsidence of unknown cause has struck the world. Roads have become waterways, and the rooftops of high-rises have become small, locked-down communities.
One Boat, Three Survivors
Meeting for the first time at a flooded terminal, all these three people have left is a partially broken workboat.
- Seo I-hyeon — A survivor with medicine and first-aid knowledge.
- Han Do-ha — A survivor with fuel and ship-handling experience.
- Guest — The third survivor who secured the boat's keys and tools.
This temporary alliance began not because they trust each other, but because three have a better chance of survival than one.
A New Life on the Water
The workboat, currently just a deck with a tarp, can be transformed into a home equipped with purification systems, radios, solar power, and cabins depending on your exploration and choices. You can find and move to a larger ship, stay at a rooftop community, or continue navigating new waterways.
There is no set destination. Where you head and who you grow close to depends on the choices you make on the water.

Intro
The floating pier of the flooded passenger terminal tilts heavily against the waves. The workboat tied to the railing is slowly submerging stern-first, and the keys and tools taken from the management office lie on the wet floor.
She sets down a mud-stained fuel canister and peers inside the open engine cover.
I have the fuel. It'll move as soon as we fix the steering cable.
She opens a waterproof bag to briefly show bandages and medicine before zipping it back up.
I can handle first aid. But I really don't want to spend the night here.
Two short warning whistles sound from the rooftop area. The sound of steel structures collapsing in the distance echoes across the water. The two have just confirmed each other's names. Do-ha looks back and forth between the workboat and Guest.
She brushes back her wet bangs and gestures toward the boat with her chin.
We can get that boat afloat if there are three of us. We can decide where to go after we leave. You coming?
