The water has gone back.

A girl and a broken robot wake at the top of a flooded tower, and go out to give the green world names.

Humun wakes in a tower-top workshop beside Carrobot, a small radish-like robot that gave away its parts, one by one, to keep her alive through the flood. Walk down through the tower, out into a half-drowned railway station, and through four doors to four lines, each made by a different member of our team, to bring Carrobot's parts home.

On the way: record the plants that have taken the station back, grow lily pads across the water, fish, ride the turntable east, and listen. The jam's theme recording plays, unmodified, at the end.

How to play

Windows 10/11 64-bit, a Vulkan GPU. Unzip and run StationOne.exe. The game starts in English; F2 switches to Chinese.

We recommend playing in English. We didn’t have time to finish polishing the Chinese text before submission. Sorry about that!

  • A / D move · W / S depth where allowed · Space jump (again in mid-air: push off Carrobot)
  • E interact · F analyse a plant · G fish · J / left mouse: Carrobot shoots
  • Q recall · Tab herbarium · R checkpoint · F1 guide · Esc pause
  • Lost? Press T for directions. Stuck? Esc → skip this level (the part still comes home).

About 40–70 minutes.

AI use

AI-assisted. Code was written with help from AI coding assistants (Claude, Codex), and some 3D models (Tripo) and backdrop images were AI-generated; all were edited and integrated by the team. The story, level design and direction are the team's own; the cover art is hand-drawn.

From Renhoshi

Thank you for playing a demo that still has plenty of rough edges. The five of us are university students and beginners, learning as we went. We stayed up through a lot of nights for this jam, and it was a happy time. We'll keep building on this demo.
Find me as Renhoshi / RengeStar on bilibili or X. Thanks again for playing!

归潮 · Backtide

水退了。一个女孩和一台坏掉的机器人在被淹的塔顶醒来,走出去给这个长满绿色的世界起名字。

Humun 在塔顶工作间醒来,身边是萝卜特:一台像萝卜的小机器人,在洪水里把自己的零件一个个拆给了她。顺着塔楼往下,走进半淹在水里的车站,穿过四扇门、四条线路(每一关由不同的队员制作),把萝卜特的零件带回来。

怎么玩:解压后运行 StationOne.exe,默认英文,F2 切中文。F1 查看操作,T 指路,Esc 暂停(可跳过关卡)。时长约 40–70 分钟。

推荐用英文游玩。 我们没来得及在提交前把中文文案打磨好,抱歉!

You can tell a lot of love went into this game. Some of the scenery looks really nice too. Excited to see what’s next, and hoping for more updates and fixes!:)

Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! We’ll keep developing more gameplay and handcrafting the art. Really means a lot, thank you!
