About This Demo

The First Sea is free. Sail it like you mean to keep it.

Pirate Twist is a top-down 2D naval roguelite where your ship is a mobile base. The demo hands you Captain Rourke and one full expedition — the complete loop, no time limit, no locked systems.

In the Demo

• A full First Sea voyage — pirate fleets, uncharted waters, and a named boss captain finale
  
• The Sea Cave — row into the dark with fire shot as your only light
  
• Defend the Port — hold the fort walls through five waves
  
• The whole Port loop — ammo market, module mounting and dismantling, captain skills
  
• Real roguelite stakes — defeat costs resources, not the run; win and sail again at a harder tier

Combat Is Naval

No cursor, no twitch-aim — combat is pure positioning. Pick your live broadside, swing it onto the enemy, and your guns roar the moment a target's in the arc. Chain shot tears sails, grape shot cuts crews, fire shot burns — and a rake through a fleeing enemy's stern pays double.

In the Full Voyage

• Three seas per campaign — the demo's First Sea is the first of three
  
• Five captains — Rourke sails the demo; Reyes, Voss, Sable, and Marisol await
  
• The New Game+ ladder, 35 achievements, and a global leaderboard

Demo progress stays with the demo — the full voyage starts fresh. If the First Sea hooks you, wishlist the full game and sail on.

Some pre-rendered 2D artwork in the game and on the store page (background paintings, character portraits, UI illustrations, key art, and marketing images) was created with generative AI tools, then curated and edited by the developer.
