About This Game

A beautiful, cloudless day on the ocean. The hustle and bustle of the crew's activities ring out in an endless drone. The salt spray on the sundried skin - invigorating. Wait, you're facing the wrong way. Turn around...

An intense storm cloud, almost black with menace, looms above the world. And we're heading straight for it...

We must prepare the ship and ourselves for whatever we find inside.

Features:

- A 30-40 minute interactive, mystery-laden story.

- Explore a strange pirate ship to find and roll up all the flags and sails.

- Interact with oddball denizens, and navigate underwater mazes.

- Intricately detailed artwork and animation, that will move you.

- A collection of weird and wonderful characters, some of which love eating things that aren't food.

- Whoa! Some action.

- Disturb a parrot, pet a cat.

- An original soundtrack by magicdweedoo, that shifts the fibres of the soul.

BEST EXPERIENCED WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS, WITH NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES.

one of a kind, genuinely really cool stuff. might seem like an animation/video would better suit this story, but it's all about causing the interactions and exploring the ship at your own pace that makes it key to the experience that can't be done in any other medium. up there with the likes of bernband or off-peak for games that create environments that feel very, very lived in and immensely filled with the creator's personality.

this is like a playable short story. very linear, although there are subtle optional discoveries to make when exploring the world. The fun of it is to "take in" the atmosphere and the cosmology of the game, which is very cryptic but hints at hidden depths.
