Our take on Forgotten Seas

The store copy gives equal weight to crafting, exploration, survival, combat, and story, but does not clarify how these activities are paced or balanced. Its strongest concrete detail is the ship-in-a-bottle mechanic, which is tied to both exploration and escape.

What is Forgotten Seas?

Forgotten Seas is a survival game set in the Bermuda Void, an ocean realm with shifting islands and hostile pirates.

Players craft ships that can be stored in bottles, sail between islands, and build docks and camps. Island exploration involves gathering resources, hunting treasure, and assembling pieces of an ancient map to locate its destinations. Survival also involves managing hunger and dehydration while facing storms, whirlpools, and strange creatures. Combat takes place on land and aboard ships: players can wield two weapons, while naval fights require attention to speed, heading, and enemy positions. The game’s story centers on investigating the Void’s origin and seeking a way back to the real world.
