Twelve hours with the rising tide
In Le Trémet, the feast unfolds on the quay, with every eye on the rising water. Salt keeps the town alive, and everyone owes something to someone. A debt falls due at high tide: twelve hours to find your way between payment, flight and negotiation.
Debts you can negotiate
Pay, flee or renegotiate: the debt opens several paths. From the tavern to the Great Counter, choose whom to speak to, what to promise and how far you will commit.
A deadline carried by the water
High tide is twelve hours away. While the quay celebrates, your errands take time: one more conversation, a detour, a decision left until later…
The lanterns are still burning. The water keeps rising. What will your promises be worth when the debt falls due?

A few faces to meet
Nène
At the quay-side tavern, Nène fills your glass before you speak. She keeps tabs as carefully as she keeps her counter.
Pétronille
The elder stands straight, a black shawl across her chest and a lamplighter’s pole in hand. She tends the lanterns and keeps the feast running.
The man in grey
A guest in grey linen without a speck of salt, a weighing lead at his belt. The whole quay knows him; nobody says his name.
