Wavetale charms with a light-soaked aquatic world and surfing across the waves that feels surprisingly exhilarating. The journey is short and undemanding, yet a melancholy atmosphere and the soundtrack carry it. A contemplative stroll that lingers.

Description
Sigrid glides across the surface of a flooded ocean to save an archipelago from the Gangs. Published by Thunderful, released worldwide in 2023. Surfing on water and wielding electricity, climbing and grappling, a bright open world, collectibles and a contemplative mood.
Skating at full tilt across the surface of a drowned ocean, electricity in hand, delivers an exhilarating sense of freedom few contemplative games offer. A short adventure from a studio better known for other series, it slipped under the radar with little promotion. Its luminous art direction and gentle melancholy are its finest assets; pure relaxation for fans of poetic open worlds.
