Juliette Waters se réveille dans un appartement des années 70 enseveli sous une coulée de boue. Elle utilise du matériel d'enregistrement de fantômes pour s'échapper, contacte le propriétaire de bateau Walter et lui emprunte son embarcation afin de fouiller le parc inondé de Saginaw Park à la recherche de son petit ami Jonathan. Un post-it sur l'ordinateur du bateau l'oriente vers des coordonnées essentielles réparties sur vingt îles à explorer.
Ce survival horror à la première personne repose sur un outil d'analyse vidéo et sonore pour révéler des messages cachés et résoudre des énigmes environnementales. Les joueurs traversent neuf niveaux et une vaste zone principale inondée, sans ennemis ni jump scares. L'exploration atmosphérique séduira les amateurs d'horreur réfléchie et centrée sur les outils, pour environ six heures de jeu.
