How it feels
A top-down river voyage blends relaxed sailing with turn-based tactical combat, colorful fantasy visuals, and procedural exploration as you gather a party and collect mysterious stones.

What players say
Players are split, many loving the idea but frustrated by execution. The raft controls are widely panned, the early access feels abandoned to some, and a forced Epic Games login angered several. Long-time fans of the studio praise the atmosphere, but others find the gameplay repetitive and the tutorial broken.
