Swapping sand dunes for sea waves, Far: Changing Tides expands on the inhospitable world created by developers, Okomotive, in their multi award-winning debut title, Far: Lone Sails. Players control Toe, a hero trapped in a drowned landscape with little chance of survival.

Finding an abandoned ship, the journey to safety will take players across the horizon in a desperate bid for freedom as Toe seeks answers about what happened to their home.

With the same captivating art style, meditative side-scrolling gameplay and haunting soundtrack from composer Joel Schoch as Far: Lone Sails, the next entry into the world created by Okomotive will present fans with a fresh experience as they sail the high seas and scour the deepest ocean floors.

Initially planned for late 2021, publisher Frontier Foundry and developer Okomotive revealed that FAR: Changing Tides has been pushed until early 2022.

Building on the meditative experience of FAR: Lone Sails, the upcoming companion title, FAR: Changing Tides revealed an added verticality to the series. Players can dive beneath the waves and explore the flooded civilization that was once protagonist Toe’s home, as well as other original features new to the FAR universe.

While tackling puzzles on land and beneath the waves, players will learn the skills needed to control and upgrade both a sail boat and submersible. Raise the mast and angle the sails or use limited fuel resources to light the furnace and power a mighty engine, all while the dynamic soundtrack responds to player interactions for a unique and relaxing experience.

Okomotive Lead Designer and Co-Founder, Don Schmocker, said, “Adding a submersible feature to the FAR universe felt like a natural progression for the series, allowing players to explore the ruins beneath, instead of just sailing above them. It added an emotional depth that the desolate wastelands of Lone Sails had and a new element to some of our puzzles, as well as encouraging players to engage with their vehicle in a deeper and more satisfying way.”

He added, “As a studio, we want to keep challenging ourselves while looking at new ways to excite players. Changing Tides is longer than Lone Sails, with more puzzles to solve, upgrades to earn and a mystery to unravel, we wanted something to set the two games apart while retaining the iconic elements; post-apocalyptic setting, painterly art style, dynamic soundtrack and a unique vehicle.”
