Sea of Change

About

Sea of Change is a single player casual action adventure game. It was developed by Simran Anand and was released on June 28, 2024. It received mostly positive reviews from players.

Sea of Change is my first game, developed solo on a very small budget (less than $300). It’s my best attempt yet, and while I wanted to add even more features, some things were beyond my current skill level. I had to put it out there or risk getting stuck in development forever. I truly appreciate any support. I’m already planning to expand on this with a sequel and create more games in the futur…
