Tides Between Us is a short narrative-driven game about a father and son on a journey across the water.
Set entirely on a small boat, the game focuses on quiet moments of travel, fishing, and conversations that reveal their bond — and the tension beneath it. Between drifting tides and campfire stops on distant shores, players experience both the warmth of family and the shadows of a troubled past.
The game shifts from peaceful exploration into a sudden fight for survival when rebels ambush the boat, forcing the son to take up arms in a desperate escape. The father, gravely wounded, leaves the player with a story that is as much about loss as it is about connection.
Designed with a focus on atmosphere, subtle storytelling, and minimalistic mechanics, Tides Between Us blends emotional narrative with simple interactive elements to create a reflective and impactful experience.
