Once Apond a Time

Crash Landing

Caught in a terrible storm, you come crashing down from the sky and find yourself stranded on a tiny island in the middle of a giant pond. With a broken wing and no idea how to heal it, you venture out into the pond in search of help...

Along the way, you'll meet four scattered friends, each with their own stories, regrets, and unresolved conflicts. As you explore the pond and work on healing your wing, you may discover that you're not the only one in need of healing.

Maybe you can help them find their way back to one another?

A Hand-Crafted World

The islands are each hand-crafted down to every last model, texture, and material, all made in house by our amazing artists! The same can be said for our soundscapes: every music track, ambient track, and sound effect were all produced by us with love and care. The story has been written with just as much love: from ideation to each line of dialogue, all done in-house. And we are proud to say no AI has been used at any point in the art, music, or story development process!

We made this game as a small team of people, working part time, over the course of a year. We're so proud of what we have made, and so happy to get to work with TOTEM share our little world with you. We hope you'll enjoy exploring it as much as we enjoyed bringing it to life!
