A whole game about letting the river carry you.

Why it caught our eye

NAIAD is one of the most beautiful, restful things we’ve featured. Being a river spirit and swimming downstream is enough of a premise when the journey feels this inviting. No combat and no timer sounds like a very good afternoon.

Fish follow behind you. Musicians play along the bank. Sixteen episodes take the river through forests, caves and orchards towards the sea. If your backlog has started to feel like a list of obligations, this looks like a welcome change of pace.
