Following Seas

ABOUT THIS GAME
Adrift in the ruins of a collapsed empire you and your ship are a tenuous lifeline to the scattered peoples that make the few remaining green islands their home Brave hostile seas and dying lands to transport goods that can be the difference between starving and survival for those that watch the rising sun for your sails on the horizon
Following Seas is a game about ships and the sea Transport cargo fish and fight the weather in an unforgiving open world
YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL
You have great control over your sails using detailed physical simulation of wind forces you can trim your sails by adjusting the position and length of guide ropes Manage stability by adding or removing ballast or positioning your load to maintain an even keel Use navigation tools like the compass chronometer or quadrant to track your position Following Seas aims to be an accessible but complex sim-lite Understanding your ship is key but this is not a full simulator
Fast travel and various convenience features are present but this is not a swashbuckling adventure game The pace is slow intensity infrequent and moment to moment experience will be often mundane

Unforgiving Seas
