About the Game

Save the inhabitants of the Jagged Isles from the frenzy of the Steamboat fiend, Willie.

As you travel the seas, Willie will be on the hunt for you, so prepare to fight for your life.

Navigate across the sea in a Steamboat of your own and explore the hidden secrets of the Jagged Isles.

The ocean is unforgiving, so don't fall overboard as you will surely drown. Keep an ear out for Willie's whistling, or Willie might sneak up on you and drag you asunder.

Fish and collect scrap to help you and the other survivors going. Use scrap to upgrade your boat and equipment.

 

Keep up with the other survivors on the island. Defeating Willie will require all the help you can get.
