PERENNIAL TIDES
“Perennial Tides” is a video game concept about three pilgrims traversing a post-apocalyptic Australia, in search of answers or revenge. When Athena’s family is murdered by the omnipresent hive mind ‘primordial Angels’, she seeks to challenge their vice grip on the world. The story then focuses on Laika, a headstrong wasteland knight in search of a cure to the rubedo plague or ‘indoctrination’. Athena finds Laika in the tin city (formerly Brisbane) and they agree to help each other destroy the hive mind. They then travel through the delta sands, into the never never. There they meet the seer, a young man cursed with the sight of ages, hiding in the attic of his decrepit home, serving his dead mother even as she rots into oblivion. The three of them journey to the core of Australia (now called Austradoma in its autumn years) to silence the dark heart of the hive mind.
