Fleeting Shores

From the Devs

This is not merely a voyage of trade; it is a desperate race against the Reaper.

In Fleeting Shores, you bear a family curse, and your life has entered a final 3-year countdown. Your only hope? To amass an astronomical 500 million gold before time runs out.

Time is short, and standard "buy low, sell high" tactics won't save you. You must sail the storm-tossed Mediterranean, seize lucrative opportunities amid the chaos, win over uniquely talented companions, and even risk your life in search of legendary treasures.

Fail this run? Carry your treasures over to the next playthrough, and continue your journey to defy destiny in the next cycle!
