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.
