Naiad means 'to flow'

"From the ancient mythology, a Naiad is a water nymph, presiding over fountains, wells, springs, streams, brooks and other bodies of fresh water."

What the players say
Hi, I just finished the game. I must congratulate you! What an amazing experience from start to finish. The art, the score, the message! Everything hits the right spot. Thank you for creating such an experience for us to enjoy. Can't wait for your next project!
Such a peaceful joyful curiosity invoking experience. I absolutely love this game. I've been taking my time exploring and just vibing. It's a world to keep coming back to again and again
Truly such a beautiful game and experience, with such fluid controls and cute puzzles along the way. The music was gorgeous, and the art style was perfect. It's incredible that you solo developed this game, and I wanted to send a thank you for all the hard work you must have put into this game!
A beautiful game that I hope more people get to experience! ♡
Nice cosy game about nature and the way we impact the world around us. Plenty of secrets to be found if you feel like exploring. The ending is really well done.
Every second in Naiad is the most beautiful, atmospheric and magical experience of any indie game of recent release. Each scene can be explored and traversed anywhere from a few seconds to half an hour. Naiad rewards adventure and innocence and is worth all the support it has rightfully been getting. The huge array of achievements also gives players a reason to replay and find new paths or secrets (Don't forget an alternative ending that is absolutely stunning). 100/10 <3
