What Surrounds Us is a short, abstract, colorful, and cozy adventure game.
In What Surrounds Us, you play as a creature evolving within an ecosystem threatened by a newly arrived, unknown species. Players will need to solve easy puzzles by observing and interacting with the surrounding flora and fauna in order to progress and, maybe, restore balance to their ecosystem.
Drawing inspiration from the abstraction of In Other Waters, the exploration and community focus of A Short Hike, and the atmosphere and themes of Neva, What Surrounds Us carries a strong ecological subtext without being moralizing. Its main goal is to offer a relaxing and positive experience around a topic that is often anxiety-inducing.
