Description

Quench is a story-driven puzzle game set in a colourful, lo-fi world. You play as Shepherd, an avatar of nature, and you have the power to control the weather to guide herds of animals on a perilous journey. You must protect your flock, tend the land, and unravel the mystery of the strange smokebeasts that have invaded the world. Using your divine powers over the weather, you will provide for your herds, help them as they take up their great pilgrimage, and ultimately restore the world. Quench is inspired by uplifting and joyful classics such as The Lion King and Avatar: The Last Airbender and games like Journey and Okami. You will experience unique and wonderful environments, memorable characters, be awed by your own power, and be presented with a lesson: in order to make a better world, we must all do our part.

History

Quench was first born at TOJam: The Sevening, inspired by the theme “The World Is Not Ending”. From a Flash prototype, Jeff and James refined the concept several times as various student projects. In mid-2014, the Axon team made a playable Unity demo that was shown at the Level Up Showcase and Gamercamp (via Humber College). Quench is a recipient of the Ontario Media Development Corporation's Interactive Digital Media Fund. This opportunity will allow Axon Interactive to complete the game with an expected release in fall of 2016. Quench is planned for release on Windows / Mac.
