Overview
Empty The Lake! is a casual, incremental simulation from Papu's Studio, released on October 22, 2026.
The premise is simple: the lake is full, and nobody knows what lies at the bottom. Your job is to find out by removing every last drop of water.
Starting with a basic bucket, you'll scoop water, carry it to your truck, and get paid for your efforts. The earnings fund upgrades that let you work faster and dig deeper, gradually revealing the hidden world beneath the surface.
Highlights
- Incremental Progression: Begin with a simple bucket and upgrade your tools to remove water more efficiently, unlocking the ability to reach greater depths.
- Revealing Secrets: As the water level drops, objects, structures, and mysteries that were submerged slowly emerge, keeping each session surprising.
- Relaxed, Self-Paced Play: Designed for single-player, with no timed input and the ability to save anytime, making it a perfect pick-up-and-play experience.
