About the Game

Command Your Ship

Outfit your vessel with cargo holds, crew quarters, kitchens, and cannons. Choose from 5 hull types — from nimble sloops to mighty galleons — and view your ship in detailed cross-section.

Build Your Crew

Recruit from 11 archetypes, each with unique skills and personalities. Assign them to sailing, steering, cooking, lookout, maintenance, or rest. An experienced crew can weather storms that would break a green one.

Sail the Caribbean

Real sailing physics — trim your sails, read the wind, and navigate dynamic weather systems. Random events, crew needs, and tough choices make every voyage unique.

Trade and Prosper

Visit various ports, each with their own specialties and supply-and-demand pricing. Buy low, sell high, and transport passengers to build your fortune.

Procedural Everything

Handcrafted pixel art combined with procedural generation creates billions of unique crew members, dynamic time-of-day lighting, and procedural ambient audio. No two playthroughs look the same.

Early Access

Salt & Storms is in active development. Coming soon: ship-to-ship combat, fleet management, black market trading, and more.
