Build a city on the ocean by placing floating platforms that connect to one another. You guide its expansion as its population grows.
Assign villagers to gathering, production, hunting, military, and utility buildings. Balance resources and supplies against villagers’ needs for food and happiness, while responding to sickness and fires.
Move the city to reach drifting resources, fish schools, and derelict ships. Train guards and use junk cannons to fight pirates, taking care to avoid friendly fire.
Many supplied reviews report that development appears to have stopped, with no updates for years and the game still unfinished in Early Access. Some players enjoy its ocean-city premise and city-building, while one review specifically criticizes the scarcity of essential resources and the resulting difficulty.
