Commissioned by the Greater Paris Water Authority (SEDIF), S.O.S Mission Eau is a multi-platform serious game for ages 7-11. Its educational goal is to playfully teach how the water-treatment and distribution chain works, from source to home.

The game features Eduardo and Ondine facing the destruction of the water network by the evil Doctor Dry and his robots. Players have to repair every damaged link, alternating each time between a management phase inspired by city-builder games (like Sim City) and an action / puzzle phase firmly designed in arcade style and inspired by the casual-gaming hits of that era like Angry Birds.
