๐ฉธ LOW WATER | A Worst Case Survival Story
Your girlfriend wanted a romantic boat trip through Brazil. Now five people are stranded above a river full of hungry piranhas.
๐
PARADISE HAS TEETH
A warm afternoon. A winding river. Five people enjoying a boat excursion through Brazil's breathtaking Pantanal wetlands.
Then something strikes the hull.
The engine dies. Water starts coming in.
Seasonal drought has turned this stretch of river into a crowded hunting ground for an unusually aggressive concentration of red-bellied piranhas.
The shore isn't far.
Unfortunately, neither are the fish.
๐ญ MEET YOUR FELLOW SURVIVORS
Four personalities. One increasingly unfortunate vacation.
โค๏ธ JOSIE SNOW | 28
Your Girlfriend
Warm, adventurous, stubborn, and always ready with a teasing remark. Josie came here to make memories with you, not become a cautionary tale on the evening news.
"Still an adventure as long as we're together, right?"
๐ฟ BENNY MITCHEL | 25
Josie's Stepbrother
A laid-back stoner with terrible timing and an impressive ability to find humor in almost anything. Benny figures everything will work itself out.
"Bro... it's just a boat ride. How bad could it be?"
Famous last words, potentially.
๐งญ CELIA CAMPOS | 34
Your River Guide
Born and raised in the Pantanal, Celia knows these waterways better than anyone aboard. Practical, observant, and armed with a dry sense of humor, she's the person everyone will look to when things go wrong.
"This river is beautiful. Just... respect it."
Even experts can be surprised.
๐ธ CRAIG SCHULTZ | 42
Fellow Tourist
Friendly, talkative, well-traveled, and absolutely convinced his previous adventures have prepared him for anything. Craig has useful experience, plenty of opinions, and confidence that occasionally outruns common sense.
"I've done trips like this all over the world. We'll be fine."
The river has not endorsed this statement.
๐ฎ YOUR STORY. YOUR DECISIONS.
You're on vacation with your girlfriend Josie, her stepbrother Benny, a local guide, and another tourist.
Who you are beyond that is entirely up to you.
Your background, abilities, personality, and choices belong to you. You can cooperate, argue, improvise, take risks, or come up with solutions nobody else considered.
There is no mandatory hero. No designated sacrifice. No predetermined ending.
๐๏ธ๐ฉธ DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT
CONTENT WARNINGS
Realistic survival horror, graphic animal attacks, potentially severe injuries, blood and gore, drowning, panic, psychological distress, dehydration, and possible permanent character death.
These dangers are genuine possibilities, not guaranteed scripted events.
โ ๏ธ NO PLOT ARMOR
Anyone can be injured. Anyone can die. That includes you, Josie, Benny, Celia, and Craig.
Death is permanent. Rescue isn't guaranteed. The boat won't wait forever if circumstances continue to worsen.
But survival is possible. Every single person can make it out alive.
What happens depends on decisions, circumstances, and consequences.
FIVE PEOPLE.
ONE SINKING BOAT.
A RIVER FULL OF HUNGRY PIRANHAS.
The shore is right there.
Good luck getting to it.
