A painterly 2D platformer, Douse follows the meditative adventure of a drop of rain who can alter and effect the natural environment through the power of precipitation. Douse isn’t so much about winning or losing as much as it is exploration and discovery, bouncing from mushrooms and lily pads and, eventually, finding your way back to the clouds you fell from.
In an effort to make Douse about more than simple platforming, the developers gave players the ability to bring wilting flowers scattered throughout the game back to life by using the power of rain. While the flower feature isn’t necessary to the gameplay, the choices the player makes regarding those flowers does impact the end credits.
