🏝️ Welcome to Tide Up

After a shipwreck strands you on a once-beautiful island now drowning in debris, you’re taken in by an old engineer who shows you how to make change—literally. Armed with a recycler, a boat, and a growing group of quirky islanders, you’ll clean the land and sea, upcycle trash into useful items, and watch the world around you come back to life.

Tide Up is a cozy adventure game that was build within 10 weeks where every piece of trash matters, every crafted item helps someone, and every small action makes a visible impact.
