Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that the game is in an enjoyable state with some unfinished features and content. Launching in early access will give the community a chance to experience and enjoy the portion of content that is finished, while giving us the time and resources to develop and polish the remaining features with much valued community feedback. Some features maybe unfinished or in a crude state, for instance animations, UI and character creation. We wish to make our game rich in experience and fun. We wish to be transparent with the development and involve the community in the development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game might be in Early Access for about 18 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add more content such as the return of the protagonist to a New Earth Biome. We have plans to add new materials, new mysteries, and new challenges. Currently, the crafting and building systems are limited to islands. We want to expand on the ship system and add building, decorating, and crafting on the ship as well. We plan on adding new ships and new land builds. For example, we want to add Castle building and decorating to our current building system. Other features such as full controller support, seasonal events, and additional game difficulty modes are also planned. The user interface and animations will also be improved.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The main features of the game have been implemented. Single-player and multiplayer modes are fully functional. The crucial part of the story is complete. The crash into Bermuda, the survival (split up into 13 unique survival challenges), treasure hunting, and the oceanic adventures are complete. The return part of the story is yet to be finished, but we have already set the groundwork for it. There are about 10 ships and about 400 items already in the game to be discovered and crafted. We currently have two building styles, tropical, and lodge with about 100 items and decorations (building pieces, artwork, lights, trees, shrubs, etc.) to build with. Players can craft ships in a bottle and travel together on the same boat or separate boats. Good things take time, and we want to make the best game we can.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The pricing for the full release has not been finalized yet, but it is likely that the price may increase moderately when we release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We wish to take community feedback seriously and improve the game based on feedback received. This may include new features, bug fixes or even new items and stories added to the game based on community ideas!”

About This Game

Survive the Void and rule the seas! Lost in the Bermuda Void, a strange realm where the ocean is endless and islands fade in and out of existence, seemingly suspended in the time of Dread Pirates. Neither alive nor truly dead, they roam these waters in search of prey. Unless you want to be fodder left in the wake of their mighty ships, you'll have to craft a ship and take to the waves - then conquer the forgotten seas, whose treacherous waters are full of bounty, treasure, and grave danger!

Ships are magic in the Void and essential to survival. Even loaded with food, tools, and weapons, every ship can fit down into a bottle - from the tiniest schooner to the greatest dreadnaughts - and be unleashed at a moment's notice! Store away your ship for exploration or keep it as an unwelcome surprise for your enemies. Or even better, craft a custom fleet with a ship for every occasion. Lure in pirates expecting an easy fight, then surprise them with a full broadside from a man-o-war that appears out of nowhere!

No ship is complete without a port of call. Land on an island, use the robust crafting and building system to erect a dock worthy of your vessel, then head inland, seeking lost treasures, rare resources, and piecing together the mystery of the Bermuda Void. But be careful: The treacherous forgotten seas can claim the island, just as you reach your prize, leaving you in a heart-pounding race against time to reach the shore and deploy your ship to find safety.

Don’t think the prizes will jump in your lap! The Dread Pirates are ancient sailors worth their salt, and the treasures are well hidden. First, you’ll need to assemble an ancient map, torn apart by time and scattered to the four winds. Second, you’ll need to find the spot and brave the dangers of whatever island or sunken ruin it guides you to. Only then can you claim the treasure for yourself and carve out your destiny on the high seas.

An intuitive dual-wielding system means fast-paced battles on land and deck. However, the true challenge lies on the high seas, as sail ships clash. Watch your speed, heading, and enemy positions. A mistake might mean that your broadside will fall short and the enemy will turn your prized ship into a mess of splinters and torn sails - just as an oceanic anomaly bears down on your both, with storms, whirlpools, and strange beasts for whom a survivor is a rare delicacy...

Between unpredictable anomalies, vicious pirates, and the ever-looming specter of hunger and dehydration, lies the mystery of the void. Where did this anomaly come from? Why does it persist? When will you be able to escape? Can you escape? The answers wait within the storms, in sunken pyramids, amidst wreckage beneath the waves. Build, farm, craft, sail, conquer - then face the ultimate challenge, taking your ship into the unknown and maybe, just maybe, finding a way back to the real world...
