The brutally engineered class divisions of Snowpiercer meets Rivers Solomon’s The Deep in this high-octane post-climate disaster novella written by Nommo Award-winning author Suyi Davies Okungbowa
Off the coast of West Africa, decades after the dangerous rise of the Atlantic Ocean, the region’s survivors live inside five partially submerged, kilometers-high towers originally created as a playground for the wealthy. Now the towers’ most affluent rule from their lofty perch at the top while the rest are crammed into the dark, fetid floors below sea level.
There are also those who were left for dead in the Atlantic, only to be reawakened by an ancient power, and who seek vengeance on those who offered them up to the waves.
Three lives within the towers are pulled to the fore of this conflict: Yekini, an earnest, mid-level rookie analyst; Tuoyo, an undersea mechanic mourning a tremendous loss; and Ngozi, an egotistical bureaucrat from the highest levels of governance. They will need to work together if there is to be any hope of a future that is worth living—for everyone.

Artengine acknowledges that we are located on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territory of the AnishinĂ be Algonquin Nation.
Artengine is thrilled to announce that we have been selected as a recipient of the Ottawa 200 Grant for our project, 200 Stories Rising.
Selected through a peer-assessment process, 200 Stories Rising is a mentorship-based media arts residency supporting emerging artists to create large-scale public projections. The project is one of many funded initiatives taking place throughout 2026 as part of Ottawa’s bicentennial celebrations, with a commitment to providing free and inclusive public experiences for all.
We are delighted to have been recognized through this process and are excited to be partnering with Urban Art Collective as we bring this vision to life.
Stay tuned for more updates as 200 Stories Rising takes shape across the city.
Creating Gameboy-style games and art is more accessible than you might think – no coding required.
