It has an excellent storylines and lore, I like the interesting and varied landmarks on the map. The sounds are great and almost give you the smell of the sea immersion at times. While the graphics are simple, they fit the aesthetic of the game. Unfortunately, that is what it is, an aesthetic looking for a game. You can argue that this is the game the developers wanted to build, but I found so many of the mechanics just caused tedium and were not 'fun' in any way. This could have been so many fun things -- like a dark/scary version of Pirates!, or a randomly generated "roguelike", or a story driven adventure game, or many other possibilities. It ends up feeling like poor conversion of a tabletop RPG card-game, with large amounts of time being consumed doing nothing but travelling in the dark from one place to another. At least if it were a card game you could use your imagination and skip the boring parts.
