I loved the game! The fog of war makes exploring the game, especially in the first few minutes, exciting and slightly scary.

The small stories told through dialogues and missions/choices are fun and create a certain lore for the world. I must have played for about 15 minutes; if there had been more variations, I would definitely have played longer.

As time went on, I understood what was worth the risk and what wasn't. In a way, the game is "easy," once you understand that fishing and fresh water are risk-free, so you don't have many reasons not to avoid a fight with pirates, giving them food, or risking your crew on dangerous hunts. I would have had more fun with a slightly more punitive system.

I'd like to say that whenever possible, I took the natives' gold and accepted being considered a traitor by them 😅

Finally, I was almost accepting that there was no lost city, but I was happy being a successful sailor and exploring the seven seas, when finally... I found it 😍

Finally, congratulations on the idea and implementation. I'm a fan of management games; it's one of my favorites so far!

Hey Carlos, thank you for playing it and giving detailed feedback, it means a lot! I'm glad you loved it. I'm also partial to management games (playing as well as developing them), aside from the art style that's another reason I usually try yours whenever I get the notification.

Unfortunately I had very little time to playtest, balance and create narrative content, it's a wonder I even ended up with something playable. Thank you for pointing out the riskless approach, it will be useful to balance the resource economy. I also plan to add some more map features, events and activities after the jam, to give the Archipelago some more life and character. And make use of the narrative flags that currently serve no purpose other than potentially scaring away people from unethical choices. :)

The biggest positive surprise for me is that so many people actually played the game for 10+ minutes to find the Lost City. Cheers to all the persistent captains!
