It's a great experience - immersive, atmospheric and contemplative. However, no matter what I do, I can't get the plant to surive past the final day of the storm. Any tips? Also, why does the house seem to have British electrical wall sockets!?!
So, you're going to have difficulty keeping that darn plant alive ... it might not even be possible ...
As a response to the October 2015 historic flooding in South Carolina, this game explores the loss of agency via a medium usually defined through player agency. When I was sitting in my apartment, watching my neighbors houses underwater on the news, I wanted to run out and help everyone. But I was stuck ... no matter how much I wanted to get to where people were hurting, all the roads around me were sunk.
