About the Game

Set sail on an unforgettable journey across the vast expanse of the seven seas! In this captivating cooperative sailing game, one player commands the ship, while the other is confined to the captain's cabin, solely navigating with the map. Successfully completing their missions on time will demand the crew's adept communication, skill, and composure.

Experience a unique and fun gameplay dynamic where one player takes the helm as the Sailor, while the other assumes the role of the Cartographer, guiding their partner through treacherous waters. Success in this maritime quest hinges on excellent communication and cooperation between both players!

Venture into the unknown waters with each game (around 15 minutes), as a new procedurally generated world unfurls before your eyes. Immerse yourself in several unique biomes, each with its own wonders and challenges. As the Cartographer, you'll face the daunting task of completing the map manually, strategically placing landmarks and ports to chart a course for the Sailor towards your desired destinations.

Discover multiple unique missions: cargo delivery, pirate hunting, archeology, treasure hunting... Each one with its own set of challenges and mini-games. Beware, though, for the treacherous seas are home to cunning pirates and sea monsters eager to test your mettle. Play with wit and strategy, attempting to steer clear of danger, or embrace bravery and rush in, relying on your cannons to overcome the perils that lie ahead.
