Water is an artistic Half-Life 2 mod that fuses adventure, puzzle, and stealth game mechanics together in one. You take control of the goddess of the sea, one of the sister goddesses who founded the world.When you awake you discover that fishmen have forsaken the ocean and nature itself to live in a steampunk style theocratic metropolis, founded and led by an enigmatic religious leader. While apparently once a true shining city, by the time you awake conditions in the city are corrupt and miserable. Quickly it becomes obvious the endless misery inflicted on the fishmen is most likely intentional, but by whom and for what reason is up to you to find out.Over the course of the game you must help the miserable citizens with their problems, ranging from comedic to tragic, and solve puzzles. Water can possess people, move through pipes, enthrall people to take her orders, and transform into her namesake liquid to do anything that actual water can do (IE: store yourself in a barrel, slip through grates, follow pipes, etc.)Unusually for a source-mod game, the story has high quality cutscenes. Even more unusually, they are told in a charmingly rustic style that looks like a puppet show with hand painted cardboard marionettes.

Gaia's Lament: While the ocean has been spared, the land itself has not since Grass is dead and now it is being exploited for whatever resources it has left.

Death by Origin Story

comment
Death by Origin Story: The forest-oriented sister was killed by Fire before the plot begins. Fire took over the city to awaken Water and finish the job of sororicide, which would leave her the last deity standing.

Super Drowning Skills: Inverted. Water, having gills, can't survive on land for very long.

Steampunk: While under the water, the city looks like a Victorian paradise. When you’re above water, it’s the drab, depressing style reminiscent of Mortal Engines and other cynical Punk Punk works.

comment
Dystopia Justifies the Means: Someone or something is intentionally making life near unlivable for the Fishmen, and it seems to be for no other reason than to cause misery. In reality, it was a Batman Gambit. Fire knew Water would only be woken up by the crying of her subjects.

comment
Cool, Clear Water: Possibly out of respect for their heritage, the fishmen have not polluted the water to the extent you would think an industrial hellhole on the scale of The City would have (barring minor littering) and it still looks clean enough to drink in most places.
