Backwater (Vertical Slice Prototype)

Very early prototype for a game about crossing dangerous terrain to deliver water based on my book, Backwater. 

Set it the ruins of Lithgow (now Liggo, people cant read too good) and the surrounding mountains, water is scarce and people like the Carrier support the community by bringing fresh water from surrounding sources.

The water is heavy and the sun is hot. Currently just a boring walking simluator, and not even a good one - this is hard 😅

Note: this is a vertical slice to test system - the game is planned to have five levels, an economy system, upgrades, a large and interesting story (it's based on a book after all).

Currently features one route, a save and load system, basic animations and SFX, basic set dressing, basic global lighting. Should be playable with mouse and keyboard, touch and controller. Only tested with keyboard currently.

Very keen on feedback.
