About This Game

You marooned him. He sent the bill.

Online co-op pirate survival crafting for 1-3 players. One player hosts and plays. Best with friends, and solo works too.
A year ago your crew left Captain Silas Vane on a nameless island with an empty pistol. Now the sea has thrown you onto that same island. Nobody here stays dead: not you, and sadly not him. And he kept the receipts.

Online co-op for 1-3 pirates

• Pick a crew role: Beachcomber, Bosun, Lookout, Quartermaster or Powder Monkey. Every role can learn every skill.
  
• Voice chat recommended (Discord or Steam).
  
• No dedicated servers, no subscriptions.

Survive: fish, farm, loot and dig

Fish, farm, loot, dig and fight your way through Vane's installments. He wants 9,999,999 doubloons. Split up and share the work.

Explore a cursed pirate island

Explore Bonereef Isle, Vane's island: beaches, a shipwreck, jungle, caves, cliffs and a sunken strongroom, all the way up to the gates of his Counting House. His favorite hats are locked away around the island. Find them.

Crafting and base building: camp to stone fort

Between payments, grow your camp from a campfire to a stone fort: walls, spiked walls, gates, storage and crafting stations.

• Queue your crafts and keep exploring while they finish.

Fight the undead pirate crew

Fight with cutlass, bow, flintlock, blunderbuss and fire hexes against Vane's undead crew.

Made by a two-person team
