These synths are so pretty. Loving the harmonies in Sailing with You, and that rhythm is so trippy. The gradual buildup in A Storm Is Coming was so immersive. Cool ambiences in the third and fourth tracks. The Shipscrapers is another incredibly cool rhythm, very creative mix of sounds. Those vocals in The Dive on top of those crunchy synths and the ambience is one great atmosphere. Great work!

Description
A Water Machine is an exploring/crafting game in which you are an AI who is in charge of a boat. Your captain and only passenger, an old retired man in his 70s, fell in the water last night during a storm. He had the only wish of being buried on a small Pacific island, and that was also what he programmed in you as your main purpose as a boat AI. You visit the waterworld alone, going through immense plateaus of still water and giant waves, encountering fishes and creatures and trying to craft yourself into a submarine using the scrap parts of boats and ships that you encounter during your roaming, in the hope of retrieving the body whose GPS tracker is still blinking and, by doing so, fulfilling both your purpose and your master's last wish.
