->''"We are all like islands, the philosopher said. Perhaps it's true. But I cannot help but remember an older saying, scratched on a cave wall somewhere by a long-forgotten prophet: in the end, the sea will claim everything."''

''The Sea Will Claim Everything'' is an AdventureGame with an emphasis on narrative, created by [[http://www.jonas-kyratzes.net/ Jonas]] and [[http://verena-kyratzes.net/ Verena Kyratzes]] and composed by [[http://chrischristodoulou.bandcamp.com/album/the-sea-will-claim-everything Chris Christodoulou]]. After Underhome is foreclosed on and [[SapientHouse traumatised by]] government agents, The Mysterious Druid creates a portal to the [[http://landsofdream.net/ Lands of Dream]] and asks the player to help heal Underhome and save it and its inhabitants. Along the way, the player becomes involved in the affairs of the local islands, which are sinking under debt.

It is a personal, political, and philosophical work reflecting on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_government-debt_crisis Greek government-debt crisis]].
