As a fish living on the dried-up seabed, every drop of water is precious. You can trade in the water you’ve earned from your job to afford a comfortable life, but not every fish is as fortunate as you are.
Under the Sun is a life sim game about compassion and self-sacrifice, built to not only entertain but to nurture players into genuine forces for good.
