About It Comes In Waves

It all started when you left…
In "It Comes In Waves", you'll play as a lone outcast on a dangerous desert planet, trying to grow a specimen to bring to The Sanctuary. How can you grow anything in a world this barren?

It is a very personal, experimental and minimalist game.
The World
Eremar Prime is a harsh and unforgiving place. You'll need to scavenge for resources, fight off raiders and make tough choices to survive. You can also visit the local town (but don't expect a welcoming crowd).
Gameplay
"It Comes In Waves" is a minimalist game that combines exploration, combat, and resource management in a unique way. Water is the main resource. It constantly evaporates if you are out in the desert, so you will need to collect more or improve your equipment’s efficiency. Otherwise, you WILL die.

If you die, there is no reloading. You have to start fresh.

Good game. Creepy and melancholic. What more can you ask out of 40 minutes of play?
Not recommended Sep 13, 2026
I mean, if its on sale, maybe, but there's not a lot here. Very barebones. took half an hour to beat, and I would assume it was developed over a weekend. The ending was alright, nothing amazing. I finished it at 9% health on the first try, but only because I accidently snapped my ♥♥♥♥ exploring a completely barren scrapyard because I didn't know there was fall damage. There are no real twists, and there is nothing particularly deep. You're not getting much out of analyzing this one through a Jungian lens or whatever. The title also doesn't really have a double meaning, its just straight up about depression, there's nothing in the game that comes in waves. Is it worth playing? I'm not sure. It really doesn't say much about anything. The mechanics are extremely basic. The graphics are nice, but if there was supposed to be a bunch of symbolism, it went right over my head. Did I have fun? No, not really, but it was kind of an experience. Mechanically, you're holding W, occasionally mercing some random braindead enemy NPCs that barely responds to stimuli to use them as a canteen refill, and collecting a few items. There are no unique mechanics. It just feels like a missed chance to mak…

Great game. Short but fun. I managed to complete it 1st try. Barely. I feel like the developer has the talent to create something good.
