In Out of Water, you step into the daily life of Watarholt - a northern Germanic village preparing for winter - and experience its slow unraveling through your own choices. What begins as a calm, grounded look into village life soon shifts into mystery, grief, and danger as you become the one people turn to when things start to go wrong. The harvest is done. The lake runs still. But something in Watarholt is changing... and you feel it before anyone else does. You explore this world through conversations, relationships, and the rhythms of village life. You decide how you speak to others, how you comfort them, how much you trust them - and how much they trust you. As the woods grow hostile and the waters turn deadly, you shape how the people around you respond to fear, tradition, and the unknown. Out of Water includes a free 45-page artbook!

Choice Driven Your decisions shape the story. Choose your words carefully - not every outcome will turn out well. Build trust, challenge beliefs, or push others away. Your relationships and reputation define your path through grief, faith, and fear.

Every expression, every silence tells part of the story. Personal Choose your name, demeanor, and worldview. Out of Water invites you to project yourself into its world - the protagonist is defined not by presets, but by your imagination and choices. Romantic? Romance is entirely optional. You may form deep bonds - as friends, allies, or lovers - with one of three men: Harik, Ansgar, or Basi. Your path with each is shaped by trust, belief, and shared experience. Love changes the story, but it’s never required to complete it. The tale of Watarholt unfolds at your pace, through your choices, and in your voice.
