Voyage deep into the Caribbean with Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island – an original story told across three Tall Tales and a hilarious, heartfelt love letter to the iconic Monkey Island game series. The first two instalments are available now!
‘The Quest for Guybrush’
Guybrush has been imprisoned in a dream-world by his old nemesis, LeChuck, and now believes himself to be the mightiest pirate who ever cruised the Caribbean. The only way for crews to convince him otherwise is to undertake three Legendary Trials spread far and wide across Mêlée Island. If you don’t succeed, Guybrush may never be freed...
New Commendations, achievements and rewards have been added with this update, marking your progress as you make your way through ‘The Quest for Guybrush’ Tall Tale.

Known Issues

Yesterday, SixOneIndie premiered our official trailer as part of its Summer Showcase.
This is what they had to say about it: “Just when you've seen it all, a game like Phoenix Springs rolls around and totally blows you away with its storytelling and aesthetic.”
Which was nice. Anyway, here is the trailer, we hope you like it :)
This patch is basically the same patch as last time, except back then it broke the server. So I went back in the code, fixed some stuff, enabled better logging, and I hope everything works now!!
⚠️ Beware!! If you have mods installed, online might not work until your mods are updated!! It's probably best to uninstall your mods until then!! Ask on the modding Discord for further info. ⚠️
Anyway, the update! It's quite a big one!
Changelog:
🔸 Added "Steering Limit Keys", which you can use to limit your max steering angle
🔸 Added "Time" and "Input" displays to online photo mode 🔸 Updated the input display with extra info
🔸 Added a "Tag" option to online settings, allows you to add a 4-letter tag to the front of your name, without having to change your Steam name (Blame Ronan for this idea, it caused the update to take a while lol)
🔸 Awarded special influencer hats to 4 influential influencers ❤️ 🔸 Awarded special "I helped!" hats to a bunch of people testing the update 🔸 Various small fixes
We just uploaded a new, shiny version of the Prologue* for Children of Silentown! 💫
Just to be clear, this Prologue covers the very start of the adventure, and is intended for new players that might be interested in playing the game, but are not quite sure yet if it's their thing or not - so if you have any friends that could be curious about it, let them know! (and if they like it, show them our last announcement)😊
Thank you! Elfs
*The Prologue is a standalone App you can find in the Steam Store.
We just uploaded a new, shiny version of the Prologue for Children of Silentown! 💫
