Shores Unknown takes place in a land ruled by the iron-fisted Crown, and policed by the fearsome Inquisition, from whom it is said there is no escape. To the south lies the Empire and perpetual war, while to the north there is only the Murk — a seething wall of fog from which no ship has ever returned. In the midst of these grand forces, both natural and otherwise, our heroes must find a way to survive and to pursue their dreams of liberty.

Play as the newly-made leader of a mercenary company, fresh off an assignment gone awry. Now on the wrong side of the Crown, allies and loyalty are paramount. Forced to venture through the maw of the Murk in a search for truth, players will explore unknown lands, forge new alliances, and wage battle against those who would see to their end.

It's up to you to uncover the truth to what lies behind the seething fog that coats the seas. Take charge of your crew, and confront a wide range of encounters with Shores Unknown's innovative gridless turn-based combat system. Lead your growing mercenary team into battle, as your tactical skills are put to the test.

In this deeply customisable RPG, it rests on your shoulders to bolster your party, learn new skills and pursue your dreams of freedom and liberty.
