Tidewater

The sea is coming. Every few days the tide eats another ring of shoreline, and the island gets smaller. Up to four survivors share what is left. Only one walks away.

Tidewater is a turn-based survival strategy game played on a 217-hex island. Each turn you get a single action, so every move counts: hunt a herd before your rival does, chop wood for a fence, dig the ground out from under an enemy, or raise a hill to fight from the high ground. Plan ahead, because the waves will not wait.

HOW YOU SURVIVE
• Hunt deer, stags and great stags to keep your food up. Run out of food and you start losing health.
• Gather wood and stone, then build fences that nobody can walk through.
• Dig and raise the land itself. Height gives you the edge in a fight, and digging out a rival's hex sends them into the sea.
• Forge weapons, craft a bow to strike from two hexes away, and hide traps for careless rivals.
• Fish from the shore, open shipwreck crates and keep moving inland as the coast crumbles.

AN ISLAND THAT FIGHTS BACK
• Erosion every 3, 4 or 5 days: you choose how fast the sea rises.
• Storm surges, droughts and migrating herds are announced at dawn and strike at dusk.
• Day and night: attackers grow bolder after dark, and with fog of war turned on you can only see what your torch reaches.
• Herds breed, food spoils and every island is generated fresh, so no two games play the same.
