It begins with the kidnapped Captain Maja, Saltsea Chronicles, the new narrative-driven adventure from acclaimed indie studio Die Gute Fabrik (known for Mutazione and Sportsfriends), embarks on a quest of your own choosing.
Captain Maja’s unconventional crew embarks on a mission to liberate their impounded vessel and orchestrate a daring rescue. Journey alongside the crew, traversing the post-flood world of ‘Saltsea,’ comprised of unique island communities. Here, you’ll unravel enigmatic conspiracies, make pivotal choices regarding destinations and crew investigations, and navigate a thrilling narrative replete with twists, challenges, and moments of joy.

In this waterlogged realm, marred by the infamous ‘Hoarders,’ memories of the pre-Flood era are a distant echo. Civilization has emerged anew, with fresh talents and technologies taking root upon the remnants of the past, promising countless surprises.
In Saltsea Chronicles, your guidance steers the entire crew’s path. While investigating the captain’s disappearance, you’ll unearth hidden truths, mediate and resolve conflicts within the crew, and expand your ranks by welcoming others into your fold.
Every chapter offers the opportunity to select the island for exploration and designate crew members for the expedition. Your choices will shape the unfolding story, nurturing relationships, while creating or resolving tensions within the crew.
With a rapid navigation system, you have the freedom to hop between islands, choosing between brief observations and deep conversations, all in various times of the day.
As you seek answers to the captain’s fate, document your journey in Murl’s Log and preserve your encounters in the Almanac as collectible stickers.
Multiple playthroughs lead to divergent paths, each with profound consequences for your crew. At any point, you can return to a prior chapter and branch your save file to encounter new crew members, explore different communities, and unveil a captivating narrative.
Saltsea Chronicles, brought to life by a diverse writers’ room with experience in various creative realms, envisions a world where communities have arisen from the ashes of catastrophe. It embodies a society defined by connections, resilience, and hope, yet still wrestling with the eternal question of how to navigate through conflicts and change. This expansive narrative game artfully explores meaningful themes with humor, delicacy, and care.
