REBUILD A SHATTERED WORLD

The ocean is a silent killer. Saltwater relentlessly devours the remnants of human civilization, leaving survivors to cling to rusting structures slowly being claimed by the waves.

Take command of your weathered boat and venture out into the flooded unknown. Pilot your boat across a flooded world, using immersive cutting mechanics to dismantle structures and rotting ships to gather resources. You are not sailing to conquer the sea, but to keep your community alive. Sail through isolated settlements, repair homes, and trade goods to help survivors rebuild their lives and create a network of mutual aid. Deep beneath the surface lies a mystery, will you be the one to uncover the secret of "pure water" and change this world forever?
