AquaVitae

AquaVitae is a short liminal walking simulator set in a glossy, aqua-futurist cityscape of empty plazas, neon lights, glass surfaces, fountains, malls, and quiet digital utopias.

It is a small atmospheric experience about wandering through a place that feels too clean to be real, too beautiful to be comforting, and too empty to be alive. There are no enemies, no combat, no fail states, and no traditional objectives. The focus is on movement, mood, music, silence, and a few fragments of inner monologue.

You walk through a bright but abandoned urban space where the world seems frozen in time. Palm trees, fountains, polished floors, neon signs, and glass architecture create a nostalgic vision of the future. Underneath the beauty, there is a feeling of loneliness that's serene.

The game was developed by one person.

Estimated playtime: around 5 minutes
