The Dawn of Equinox update is available to download for free on all platforms, right now!
Here’s the new trailer, showcasing some of the main changes coming with the update:
We ultimately see Dawn of Equinox as the community’s gift to us - the overwhelming support you’ve all shown us ever since we first announced Sea of Stars helped give our team the chance to return to the project, and present a refined version of it including everything we ever hoped this adventure to be.
There's even more in store in the upcoming DLC Throes of the Watchmaker, but in the meantime, we couldn’t be happier with how Sea of Stars feels with this major update.
DAWN OF EQUINOX UPDATE OVERVIEW
In case you missed it, the key changes were presented comprehensively during a livestream a few weeks ago.
3 Player Couch Co-op
Sea of Stars’ adventure is now playable in its entirety by up to three players, with allies traversing the world together and mastering a new Co-op Timed Hits combat mechanic. Yes, what was initially presented as a more limited “Single Player +” mode has evolved into a full-fledged co-op experience!
Combat 2.0
The addition of Mystery Locks brings a new gameplay loop around revealing the ways to break the spells of new enemies entering the fray. Along with "Reveal" functions added to some of the special skills, Combo Points now remain after battle, offering new ways to open certain encounters, or test different damage types on enemies to reveal their locks.
A comprehensive balancing pass has also been done to reflect both these new changes and player feedback since launch.
A revamped prologue
Implementing combat for the young versions of our heroes, the updated flow does away with the flashback structure to begin in their childhood directly including action in the prologue.
Bonus Cinematic Scene
An entirely new cutscene has been added to accentuate a pivotal moment in the original adventure, referred to as "Paths on Water".
Speedrunner Mode Relic
This new Relic was designed with the help of the speedrunning community, activating a range of features helpful for those looking to set a new personal best or world record.
Difficulty Presets
Three difficulty settings are now available when starting a new game, which are presets using the game's Relics. New Relics have also been added, some for quality of life, and others for difficulty adjustments.
Improved Parrot Relic
The secret-tracking parrot has learned a few new tricks to better assist players tracking down overlooked challenges and collectibles.
Québécois Localization
The long-awaited, comprehensive French Canadian translation for our Québec folks is now available!
A number of other general updates, bug fixes and QoL improvements spanning Sea of Stars’ full campaign are also part of the Dawn of Equinox update.
THAT’S IT FOR NOW
We’re grateful for all the love and support the game has received over the past year, which made it possible for us to fully realize our vision. We hope this will give fans of the game plenty of reasons to revisit it while waiting for the upcoming DLC Throes of the Watchmaker, coming Spring 2025.

Serpentine Shadows and the Joys of Vengeance - Digital Seductions
Black Pearl gathered around herself a diverse group of characters. In the upcoming updates, we’ll introduce you to some of the groups and coteries that form Pearl's crew.
If the years filled with violence and bloodshed have taught the Black Pearl anything, it is surely this: most battles can be won before they even begin... Pirate Queen's crew consists mainly of women and futanari. men – and only those who have proven their usefulness and loyalty – are just a handful among them. Yet, the crew of the Black Pearl has little trouble taking over even the best-armed ships or those manned by the most elite soldiers. Commanded by the Black Pearl pirate corvette, the Rabid Bitch seems to appear out of nowhere, selecting as its targets only ships carrying the most valuable cargo, then vanishing like a ghost.
The secret to these seemingly supernatural abilities lies in the Honey Traps – members of the crew, mostly attractive women and delicate ladyboys scattered across various ports. They intoxicate, seduce, and sleep with crew members of other ships, extracting information about cargo and planned routes. If a particularly well-guarded ship catches their interest, they sneak aboard through bribery or blackmail and, when the opportunity arises, lace the food with powerful drugs...
Jackie Swallow
Age: 26
Protégé of the Pearl and one of the main characters in the game. She abuses alcohol to numb the guilt she feels about her work. During the brief times she spends at the pirate base, rather than in port taverns (she’s the most effective of all the Honey Traps), she throws herself recklessly into chemsex with other crew members. Compulsive sex and her vulgar demeanor are merely her clumsy way of numbing the pain tearing at her heart. In rare moments of sobriety, she can be surprisingly refined and girlish, quoting works of forgotten poets and longing for true love... During the game, you’ll have the chance to uncover secrets from her past, and to discover the truth about her relationship with the Black Pearl...
Chouka
Age: 34
Master of the sword and a bondage enthusiast. When her ethereal, sensual methods – from tea ceremonies to seductive shamisen playing to sensual massages in opium-laden air – fail, she gains the necessary information in other ways. There’s no man in the world whose tongue wouldn’t loosen when her rope entwines his jewels and cold steel of her sword touches his scepter...
Ruffie
Age: 31
Addicted to every drug imaginable, Ruffie is one of the most depraved members of the Pearl's crew. Obsessed with estrogen highs, she’s constantly trying to stay pregnant. The milk produced by her ample breasts, laced with a strong dose of the substances she consumes, is a powerful aphrodisiac and narcotic on its own. Ruffie maintains her lactation even when not pregnant, and in none of the various nearby port taverns is there a single sailor who wouldn’t do absolutely anything just to wet his lips with it.
