How it feels

You command a whaling ship, balancing crew, supplies, and voyages through a historically-inspired seafaring simulation with light RPG progression.

What players say

Players praise the setting and art style but are sharply divided on the gameplay. Many criticize the RNG-heavy combat as frustrating and unfair, especially against pirates and the final boss, while others enjoy the challenge and atmosphere. The game is described as grindy, with slow travel and repetitive loops.
