Miksi Early Access?

Sea Scraps is an ambitious open-world survival game set in a ocean world. Given the complexity of procedural raft-building, naval combat, and exploration mechanics, we believe player feedback is essential to refining and expanding the game. Early Access allows us to involve the community in balancing mechanics, improving AI, and adding new content while ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience.
