11 itemsAbout the Game
This is not merely a voyage of trade; it is a desperate race against the Reaper.
In Fleeting Shores, you bear a family curse, and your life has entered a final 3-year countdown. Your only hope? To amass an astronomical 500 million gold before time runs out.
Time is short, and standard "buy low, sell high" tactics won't save you. You must sail the storm-tossed Mediterranean, hunt for extreme market fluctuations, recruit skilled experts, and even risk your life exploring for legendary treasures.
Fail this run? Carry your treasures over to the next playthrough, and let your successor continue the journey to defy destiny!
