A Whimsical Adventure in a Strange Land
The game follows the journey of a small capybara pup and their crow companion after their zoo enclosure is flooded. Stranded on an unfamiliar island, the pair must work together to navigate a world that blends natural and spiritual elements. The developers describe the setting as being inspired by Toronto, albeit with a distinct, fantastical twist.
The narrative centers on the pair's search for a way home, while simultaneously uncovering the mystery of how the floodwaters brought more than just the animals to the island. As they progress, players will need to solve puzzles and interact with both new and old friends to restore the island's delicate balance.
Meet the Protagonists
Gameplay relies on the distinct abilities of the two main characters:
- Capy: As a silent but friendly capybara, Capy handles the ground-level exploration. The pup can dig, push objects, and sniff out secrets hidden throughout the island.
- Crow: Serving as the voice of the duo, this resourceful fledgling is described as "90 percent beak and 10 percent shriek." Crow provides utility by grabbing distant objects and carrying Capy over short distances, acting as both a navigator and a companion.
The studio has drawn tonal inspiration from Spirited Away and Untitled Goose Game, aiming to deliver a cozy, nostalgic experience focused on exploration and discovery.
