Buy Now$6.99 USD or more
Set sail across a small, open world. Visit island communities, explore lost caves, and meet the local wildlife with the four winds at your back. Use the map-making tools to plot a course or simply let the wind carry you where it will.
Features
- Explore at your own pace. Let curiosity be your guide as you discover secret caves, hidden treasure, and cool little guys.
- Draw a map of the islands you find or just make a pretty picture. It’s all good, baby!
- Go where the wind takes you. Sail with the changing wind to speed across the open sea.
- Listen to the sounds of the sea. Immerse yourself in dynamically changing wind, waves, and wildlife that pull you through the environment.
- Original, live-recorded score by the game designer.
"The world is dotted in landmarks with little secrets scattered throughout. There is no main quest line and no important spaces outside the ones you yourself designate. How do you then represent it? What is your map of the world?"
- Andrew, Indiepocalypse

this looks lovely. can anyone report if it runs well with wine?
I have a linux build but I have no way of testing it. I'll send it to you for free if you let me know whether it works or not. Email me if you are interested. leonardo.price@gmail.com
email received, I will do my best to test it soon!
Hello! I love this game so far, especially the ambiance and sound design! I do have a question -- are the gators following you a bug or do I have to solve a puzzle? Thank you so much!
it’s a puzzle! Try poking around in the swamp area
