Mike Boxleiter/Kevan Du Pont/Jake Yetter/Joel Corelitz/Karlee Esmailli Day of the Devs rarely disappoints. Every edition of the showcase has at least one game that looks both delightful and truly off-the-wall (Building Relationships often springs to mind for me in that regard). Lazy River was one such project that popped up during the latest Day of the Devs stream at Summer Game Fest. This is, fundamentally, a co-op survival shooter with some base building, but the concept and fun ideas the developers rolled into Lazy River are what help make it stand out.
The game is set in "the galaxy's most unregulated waterpark," which is called Water Station One. It features a lazy river that winds all the way through the park. That sounds lovely, and would likely make for a pleasant day out. Unfortunately, things won't quite go to plan.
