Fernwake

Fernwake is a free game made with AI by @Juicer, and you can play it right here in your browser.

Fernwake is a small forest valley with a river running through it, and you are Rill, an otter pup who would rather slide than walk.

Run to the bank, drop onto your belly and let the slope carry you. Hit the water fast enough and Rill skims across it like a skipping stone; jump the moment you touch down and each skip adds speed. Go over the waterfall, twirl in the air, porpoise out of the pool and ride the rapids down to the meadow.

Twelve sun motes are hidden along the valley. Some sit on the bank; some hang over the water where only a good line will reach them.

Everything you see and hear is generated by code when the game loads: every tree, fern, rock and hair, the water, the light shafts and the sound. There are no texture, model or audio files.

Controls: WASD move · hold Shift to slide · Space to jump, again in the air to twirl · click the game to look around with the mouse.

Best on a desktop or laptop with a recent graphics card.
