About the Game

Will you create a lasting civilization or see it collapse into the sea?

In Sea, Sun & Salt, you build a city on a small mediterranean island. Define the tenets of your culture, deal with your subjects' needs and withstand the forces of the elements.


Build

Progress through the game and build a magnificent city. The further you go, the more complex your city's needs will get.

Survive

If you fail your subjects, your city will not last long. Water recedes when times are good but when things go wrong, beware of the rising tide.

Decide

As your city's population grows, your subjects will look up to you for answers. How was the world created? What do they worship? When's the best time to bathe? Make these choices, and more, to direct your people.



Also features:
  • A gentle difficulty progression fit for all players
  • Over 100 unique buildings
  • Travel through this culture's History with 15 distinct historic epochs
  • Complete runs of more than 10 hours
  • 30 achievements that introduce new challenges for the more hard-core players
  • A relaxing sound track to accompany your city building
  • And many secrets hidden in the depth
