As every spring, snowmelt fills the riverbeds, opening the way for salmon to return home after a lifetime spent in ocean tongues. Each player controls a school of salmon, braving the currents to lay eggs at their birthplace. During their journey they will cross the road of hungry bears, ferocious birds of prey, and natural obstacles... which they must avoid at all costs to survive! Salmonids will also have to face the vagaries of the current, making it even more difficult for them to recover....
