About the Game

A ROBOT WITH A PURPOSE

Set sail into a bright, mysterious ocean in Oceanborne, a colourful, handcrafted 3D adventure RPG where every island hides something new. You play as a robot awakened to repair what’s broken and help bring life back to a world swallowed by clouds.

GATHER TO GROW

Resource gathering is at the heart of your adventure. Chop trees, mine stone, fish the surrounding waters, and fight monsters to collect the materials you need. Every activity feeds your progression, turning exploration and combat into the resources that power your next steps.

CRAFT, REPAIR, PROGRESS

Use what you gather to craft components for repairs and character upgrades. Rebuild damaged structures to permanently reopen routes, unlock new areas, and push farther across the ocean.

POWER THE LIGHTHOUSE

As you explore, you will discover rare Island Heart gems. Bring them back to your lighthouse base to power it up and clear more clouds from the sea. Each Island Heart reveals fresh waters, new islands, and new opportunities to gather, craft, and progress.

EXPAND YOUR BATTERY

Your robot runs on battery power, and your battery grows through play. Repairs, quests, and upgrades increase your capacity, letting you stay out longer, travel farther, and take on bigger challenges.

A SATISFYING ADVENTURE LOOP

Oceanborne is built around a fun, satisfying loop: gather resources, craft what you need, repair the world, and keep sailing into the unknown.

KEY FEATURES

  • Gather resources through tree chopping, mining, fishing, and monster battles

  • Craft components to repair structures and upgrade your character

  • Restore damaged paths permanently to unlock new islands and areas

  • Find Island Hearts to power your lighthouse and clear ocean clouds

  • Expand your battery through upgrades, repairs, and quest progress

  • Explore a colourful ocean world filled with secrets and adventure

Inspired by beloved adventures like Fantasy Life i, Forager, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Oceanborne invites you to gather, craft, repair, and venture deeper into a mysterious sea of islands. If you enjoyed those games, you’ll feel right at home in Oceanborne.
