EcoTide

EcoTide is a 3D eco-adventure that blends exploration, environmental awareness, and strategic city-building into a single immersive experience.

Set in a world where pollution has overtaken the seas, The player takes on the role of a lone innovator tasked with restoring balance. Navigate the ocean in your paddle boat, collect drifting plastic waste, and recycle it into valuable resources with the local fisher. As you clean the waters, you'll gradually unlock tools that help you collect plastic faster to earn the money that let you construct a thriving, sustainable city from the ground up.

This project draws direct inspiration from the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—a global initiative to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. EcoTide focuses specifically on Goal 14: Life Below Water, which advocates for the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources. Through gameplay, players engage in tangible environmental action by removing plastic pollution and fostering marine restoration.

Crafted in Unity using C#, EcoTide emphasizes systemic gameplay and player agency. Whether you're planning efficient recycling chains or simply enjoying the stylized water and dynamic day-night cycle, the game is designed to reward curiosity and care for the environment.

With no combat and no timers, EcoTide offers a reflective, forward-thinking take on environmental stewardship through gameplay—inviting players to build, explore, and reshape the world one bag at a tide.
