About the Game

Hoist the Jolly Roger and set sail to find the legendary Titan’s Treasure! Do you fight with a cutlass or with magic? Are you biding your time until you can shoot your captain in the back, or are you the reason the rum is gone?

Scarlet Sails is an 80,000-word interactive novel by Felicity Banks, author of Attack of the Clockwork Army and Bali B & B. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based–without graphics or sound effects–and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

  • Enjoy an adventure on the high seas.

  • Choose your personality, fighting style, and magical skill.

  • Play as male or female or nonbinary; gay, straight, or asexual.

  • Choose who to love, including options for singlehood or polyamory.

  • Face the horrors of your past—and of the deep.

  • Find treasure, treachery, and maybe even true love.
