Our take on Sea of Change
The bounce point arrives when exploration ends and the resource loop takes over: materials must be gathered from islands or enemies, brought back to base, and assigned to construction and defense before nighttime attacks.
What is Sea of Change?
Sea of Change combines sea exploration with strategic base defense.
Players sail to islands, gather resources by cutting trees or defeating enemies, and return to their base to construct defenses. The base can be expanded and upgraded over time, while enemy attacks occur at night. Islands are procedurally generated, so each playthrough presents a different world to explore. The main cycle involves finding resources beyond the base, bringing them back, and using them to build stronger defenses before the next attack.
