Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

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?

“Rotten Sails has a solid core gameplay loop that I'm excited to share. The game offers genuine co-op horror fun in its current state, and Early Access gives me the opportunity to build on what works while getting valuable player insights. This approach allows me to focus development efforts on the aspects that resonate most with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'm aiming for 6–12 months, but development timelines may vary depending on player feedback and the scope of improvements I decide to pursue.”

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

“I plan to enhance the experience based on player feedback. My focus areas include:
• More locations to sail and explore
• New threats and encounters to keep things fresh
• Additional tools and treasures to discover
• Refined gameplay mechanics

The exact direction will be shaped by what players enjoy most and the creative opportunities that emerge during development. Early Access is my chance to build something with the community rather than just for them.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes the essential elements of the experience:
• Multiple locations to sail between and explore
• Working co-op multiplayer for shared horror moments
• Loot collection and enemy encounters
• Team quota system that drives gameplay
• Atmospheric elements that set the mood

The game is completely playable with friends, with all core mechanics implemented and functioning. There's room for expansion and polish, but the fundamental experience is here.”

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

“There are no plans to change the price after Early Access at this time.”

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

“I'm planning to be involved via talking through Discord, Steam communities and maybe alternative channels like video comments or something I'm not familiar with yet. Wherever my players are, I will be there.”
