About This Game

When the modular building and resource management of Stacklands collide with the oppressive exploration and real-time survival of Darkwood

Sail across a strange, Lovecraftian sea aboard a living ship, racing against time to survive hunger, madness, and mutation.

Then uncover why the sea has turned sweet.

Explore islands unlike any other—from corrupted jungles to reefs of flesh—each hiding its own dangers and secrets.
Salvage the remains of sunken ships and piece together the fragments of this twisted world through shattered cabins and decaying journals.
Until the truth—or the abyss—swallows you whole.

  • Endure whirlpools, corruption, toxic fog, acid rain, and other unnatural disasters. Manage your health, hunger, thirst, and sanity as you struggle through each desperate day and night.

  • Encounter Cthulhu-inspired aberrations in all shapes and forms. Sneak past them, or combine weapons, traps, and items to hunt them down and harvest their organs as vital resources.

  • Fish the deep sea, explore shipwrecks and ruined islands, and salvage survival supplies, rare treasures, and bizarre materials.

  • Craft weapons and equipment, expand your living ship, and unlock new cabins and special functions. Transform an ordinary vessel into an unstoppable fortress at sea.

  • Explore distinctive islands and ancient ruins, meet the strange inhabitants of these waters, and confront deranged cultists. Every voyage carries you into an unknown crisis.

  • Gradually recover your lost memories and peel back the layers concealing the ultimate truth of this world. In the end, you will face a final Lovecraftian choice: escape the abyss—or become part of it.
