This is good news for fans of AR gaming experiences, as Waking Tides is officially releasing on Steam today for PC. The game was designed and produced by Dries Schaballie publishing as AirshipFX, and promises an innovative and captivating atmospheric adventure game that thrives on experimentation.
Created using the latest Unreal Engine 5 technology, the game has you solving puzzles with webAR hints, which are integrated with your smartphone for a rather unique experience. There’s a trailer below which shows you the gameplay of some of the AR elements.
Waking Tides introduces a compelling story: in the murky haze of an unsettling fog, a fateful bond is shattered as your faithful companion vanishes into the watery abyss. When consciousness returns, you find yourself stranded on an enigmatic oil rig, a haunting testament to the unknown. Bizarre and otherworldly objects litter the rig’s deck, their unearthly presence mocking the laws of reality. As a pulsating pain grips your skull, an enigmatic and perilous odyssey unfolds, beckoning you to uncover the secrets that lie hidden within this twisted realm.
Waking Tides takes players on an immersive first-person adventure, where AR adds a unique dimension, blurring the line between reality and fantasy. The game features challenging puzzles, allowing players to summon optional hints through the accompanying webAR application. What makes this truly exceptional is that the AR functionality directly utilizes smartphones’ native webAR capabilities, eliminating the need for external app downloads—a symbiosis currently unparalleled in the gaming world.
Waking Tides is available on Steam right now for just £12.79.
