Bound to Grow

Bound to Grow is a narrative-driven game where you play as the last librarian of a village slowly swallowed by the rising sea. As your library sinks, you uncover an ancient book containing a forgotten prophecy—one that speaks of a legendary tree, the village’s only hope for survival.

But a tree cannot grow alone. To make it flourish, you must explore the town, unite its people, and restore hope before time runs out. Will you be able to bring the village together before it's too late?
