Plot
Isaac has been swimming in the ocean for an unknown (but seemingly long) period of time. Finally, he reaches a small island where a small hut resides. Slowly crawling inside, Isaac finds a statue. A boulder soon traps him inside and as he lacks the strength to move it, the only thing he can do is rest in front of the statue, and dream.

Effects
Effects are called Tides in this game, revolving around a water motif.
