Description

You don’t need to prove yourself to improve your life.
 
It’s 2139 in a distant and mysterious ocean. Ryn’s spiky social skills leave them uncertain about recent allies, let alone folks who mistrust them on sight. The resident cephalopods, however, reach out to all—with dreams and many arms—attempting to bridge gaps in communication and understanding.
 
Weighed down by the challenges of community building, social repair, and trust, Ryn craves a safe space.

It’s 2139 in a distant and mysterious ocean. Ryn’s spiky social skills leave them uncertain about recent allies, let alone folks who mistrust...
