Stay in the Salt is a night-flight survival game from Salt and Wing, Book One of the NIGHTBLOOM series by Dr. Jeff Bullock. On the ninth night of her grandmother's pasiyam in Bicol, Mira Salonga's body splits at the waist. Her lower half stays kneeling in a circle of salt. The rest of her flies.
How It Plays
- Hold anywhere to fly toward your finger, and swoop to dive
- Hunt fruit bats and kalaw in the cane, and refuse the sleeping people the hunger pulls you toward
- Turn back the villagers carrying flashlights and salt toward your legs
- Stay out of the Navy truck headlights, and fold your wings over the salt before sunrise
- Five nights from the book, Day 9 to Day 39, then the fortieth day
The Story
Every rule in the game comes from the novel, including Idris Reyes, the Navy lieutenant who finds her lower half and will not use the salt. The story screens are stills from the Salt and Wing trailer, and the music comes from the Salt and Wing album. Read the book to find out what happens after Day 40: Salt and Wing.
