10 itemsAbout the Game
We set out to create the ultimate high seas action rogue-lite. Perma-death allows us to capture the intensity of smuggling a cargo hold full to the brim with valuables across the sea, knowing that if the wrong pirate ship crosses your path, you could lose everything.
If you can just make it to port, and smuggle your ill-gotten goods past customs, the windfall of coin could be just the thing you need to survive.

Key Features
- Sail Seas Your Way: With three playable Captains, you can use whatever combination of play-styles you want to get to the end. Will you be a ruthless pirate? A dastardly smuggler? or a peaceful trader?
- A Smuggler's Paradise: Risk your skin smuggling valuable goods across the sea for great rewards.
- Light The Fuse, Blast The Hull: Our real-time naval cannon combat means you have to use timing and angles most of all to maximize your damage, and survive relentless cannon volleys yourself.
- Powerful Sacraments To Obtain: Each Unholy Sacrament provides a great boon and a curse to match. You must adapt your ship to the ever-shifting challenges that different Sacraments will provide.
