What players say

Players call this a short, atmospheric sailing game about a woman fleeing witch hunts in 16th century Scotland. They praise the realistic wind-based sailing, the haunting music and visuals, and the survival loop of fishing, steering by the stove, and journaling. Some get stuck on navigation or invisible walls, but most find the hour-long journey meditative and eerie.
