Wavetale is a story-driven action-adventure game that carries you across an open sea and the decaying archipelago of Strandville, where you meet fed-up fishermen, secretive hermits, and perhaps a pirate or two. You play as Sigrid, a young girl who befriends a mysterious shadow that grants her the power to walk on water, and together you traverse calm waters and surging waves in a heart-warming tale about loss and reconciliation.
The experience emphasizes fluid, fast-paced movement with a platformer's flavor: you speed through the waves, swing yourself between housetops using your net, and ultimately defeat an old nemesis to save the citizens of the islands, all with a little help from the shadows below and your cranky grandmother. Along the way you make new acquaintances among Strandville's diverse cast of islanders, from a charmingly cocky surfer girl to an old fisherman turned fashion designer. You can also change Sigrid's appearance with collectible hats, hair dyes, and outfits, and fill the pages of her scrapbook with special drawings that reveal more about her world. For PC players seeking a warm, atmospheric adventure, Wavetale offers a gentle yet lively journey across the sea.
