FAR: Changing Tides is a side-scrolling adventure video game in which the player assumes control of an unnamed driver of a large boat as they explore a post-apocalyptic world. While the game does not feature any combat scenario, the player character must drive the boat and manage its sail, solve environmental puzzles, and gather resources. As the player progresses, the ship will be upgraded to include a steam engine, and the player must keep the ship powered by burning fuel, and prevent the engine from overheating by spraying water on it. Eventually, the ship will turn into a submarine which opens up new paths for players to navigate the world.[1] The game does not have a failed state, though some decisions made by players may damage the ship or cause the ship to lose momentum. Players may also need to repair the ships using the resources they have discovered in the game's world. The player may also occasionally need to leave the ship and solve simple environmental puzzles in order to remove obstacles that are blocking the boat
