About the Team

Description

Waters of Sal Naména is a Metroidbrainia in which you must stop a vibrant desert world from being swallowed by the sands. Equipped with a flask, spyglass, and compass, you set out to discover remote oases, solve intricate puzzles, and ultimately unravel the mysteries of the desert. Along the way, a groundbreaking camera mechanic reinvents how you explore this seemingly top-down 2D adventure—much like Fez did for sidescrollers. It is just one of many examples of moments when everything suddenly “clicks” and you begin to see the game world through entirely new eyes.
