Beatiful janky disappointment

I was really excited to play this and I respectfully ignored the negative reviews as I was so excited by the premise and presentation. The world is beautiful and I want to lose my self on the waves in my little catamaran. But I had to give up after struggling with this for an afternoon due to the sheer jank. Nothing works quite right. Nothing feels very good. The performance is all over. Pick it up on a discount if you're curious, but beware of what you're getting in to.

Get it on Sale

It' a good little game. I have fun with it, but the "survival" aspect gets a bit old after a while. Some ressources only being available in specific chapters is quite annoying. Therefore get it on sale.

A personal hidden gem

I’ll address it right off the bat, no the game is not perfect and it is quite rough around the edges. But it has an unspeakable charm, at least to me, that draws me in every time I see it my library. It’s an excellent mix of chill vibes open ocean sailing with some survival and combat mixed in. It’s got a charm that I haven’t quite found in any other game, and it is well worth your money when bought on sale.
