Saltwake

A harbour-city investigation

Saltwake is a story-driven action game set in a harbour city six nights before the year 2000. Ines Varga, a new officer with the Ostrand harbour police, is guarding a Marine Hall exhibit with her partner, Sergeant Teo Brandt, when a light from a deep-sea sample turns 63 people into salt. Ines is affected but survives. You investigate what came from the trench and why she lived, with five nights left before the new year.

Rooms and locations

You move freely through 98 pre-rendered rooms, without tank controls. The investigation takes Ines through places including a marine museum, fish market, hospital, shipyard, old town and a tower above the bay. The story includes voiced scenes and CG movies in the style of late-1990s games.
