How it feels

A meditative playground where you snap together parts and sail a homemade vessel through shifting winds and water.

What players say

Players are split on the charm of its boat-building and sailing concept but overwhelmingly agree it was abandoned by the developer before leaving early access. The physics are widely called broken, especially buoyancy, and the world feels empty with only a few islands and no inhabitants. Crashes and clunky controls are common complaints, though some find the atmosphere appealing despite the flaws.
