Running Water

Running Water is about subject ID #0076101, a synthetic creation made from sentient water by the tyrannical A.I. that runs a facility. You are being tested with AN-G3L, a chemical compound that enhances your natural speed and reflexes while you perform tasks. After an error releases you into the basement, you must escape by running, jumping, climbing and fighting your way through the facility, using tools you find along the way.

Escape the facility

Explore each floor, solve puzzles and search for resources, power-ups and technology to help you survive. You face drones and turrets, as well as the facility layout itself, and eventually confront each of the master A.I. Their focus is to stop you. No subject is allowed to leave alive.

Modes and customization

You can choose from three difficulty settings, with unlockable modifiers, as well as a speed run mode and a unique aptitude test mode. In the lab, you can customize your character with 17 unlockable outfits hidden throughout the levels.

Collect and upgrade

Bubble gems give you access to machines found during your escape. Hidden power-ups can grant effects such as extra lives, regeneration and double jump. You can gain access to technology and upgrade it with scrap, which you find or create by destroying enemies.

Chipsets can be mixed and matched to customize gameplay, and you can eventually create them yourself and choose their effects.
