After the dedication of your new city is washed away in a cataclysmic flood, you find yourself in Raw Danger. Civilization as you know it has collapsed and now you must make your way out of the city while staying dry and warm in a metropolis that now resembles Atlantis. Gamers may take the role of six different people and play through several different storylines as they progress through the game. Each person is influenced by the actions of another. For example, if you place supplies and clothes in a locker the next character you play can find and use those items. The enemy in the game is hypothermia and water. If you remain in wet clothes and out of shelter for too long your body temperature drops and you die. To combat the cold you can locate such items as dry clothes and space heaters throughout the city while you search for a way out. Many obstacles will require you to jump, climb, and run your way through them, however several missions require a little more effort, such as riding a jet ski to escape an enormous wave. During the game you may come upon many non-player characters that can offer you supplies or interesting clues about how to vacate the soaked city. You may fully interact with these avatars and the game even allows you to make romantic connections with many of the saturated survivors.
