About This Game

From the slums to your own ship!

Start with almost nothing in the slums and work your way toward a ship and crew of your own. Chartward brings the freedom of an open-world pirate RPG to incremental play. Sail uncharted seas, board vessels, steal valuables and chase the promise of treasure.

Chart your own course

Islands, settlements, hidden places and ships ripe for plunder await beyond your humble beginnings. Decide where to head next and which challenges to tackle first. Follow clues, discover shortcuts and open new possibilities as your knowledge, skills and resources grow.

An adventure that changes with the destination

Manage your air on underwater dives, investigate hidden places and take on bosses with their own challenges. Train your skills, choose equipment and supplies, and improve your odds on risky dice checks. What you bring and what you know can matter as much as where you go.

Turn quests into lasting upgrades

Complete quests and objectives to unlock keepsakes with permanent upgrades. Each discovery can reveal another opportunity, and each hard-won keepsake helps you reach further. Build up a history of adventures that changes what your next life can accomplish.

Explore it. Learn it. Let it run.

Work out a route yourself, then save its actions as a course to handle familiar tasks and travel. Refine your routine while you plan the next expedition. Banked time from being away can speed up play when you return.
