Survive the Void and rule the seas! Lost in the Bermuda Void, a strange realm where the ocean is endless and islands fade in and out of existence, seemingly suspended in the time of Dread Pirates. Neither alive nor truly dead, they roam these waters in search of prey. Unless you want to be fodder left in the wake of their mighty ships, you'll have to craft a ship and take to the waves - then conquer the forgotten seas, whose treacherous waters are full of bounty, treasure, and grave danger!

Ships are magic in the Void and essential to survival. Even loaded with food, tools, and weapons, every ship can fit down into a bottle - from the tiniest schooner to the greatest dreadnaughts - and be unleashed at a moment's notice! Store away your ship for exploration or keep it as an unwelcome surprise for your enemies. Or even better, craft a custom fleet with a ship for every occasion. Lure in pirates expecting an easy fight, then surprise them with a full broadside from a man-o-war that appears out of nowhere!

No ship is complete without a port of call. Land on an island, use the robust crafting and building system to erect a dock worthy of your vessel, then head inland, seeking lost treasures, rare resources, and piecing together the mystery of the Bermuda Void. But be careful: The treacherous forgotten seas can claim the island, just as you reach your prize, leaving you in a heart-pounding race against time to reach the shore and deploy your ship to find safety.

Uncover the secrets of the Bermuda Void through scattered journals, ancient artifacts, and interactions with other survivors. Your decisions shape the story, with multiple endings based on your choices and actions. Set sail, brave adventurer, and may fortune guide your journey through the Forgotten Seas!

Forgotten Seas is now available through Steam Early Access at $24.99, and will remain so for about 18 months.

“The main features of the game have been implemented. Single-player and multiplayer modes are fully functional. The crucial part of the story is complete. The crash into Bermuda, the survival (split up into 13 unique survival challenges), treasure hunting, and the oceanic adventures are complete. The return part of the story is yet to be finished, but we have already set the groundwork for it. There are about 10 ships and about 400 items already in the game to be discovered and crafted. We currently have two building styles, tropical, and lodge with about 100 items and decorations (building pieces, artwork, lights, trees, shrubs, etc.) to build with. Players can craft ships in a bottle and travel together on the same boat or separate boats. Good things take time, and we want to make the best game we can.”

“We plan to add more content such as the return of the protagonist to a New Earth Biome. We have plans to add new materials, new mysteries, and new challenges. Currently, the crafting and building systems are limited to islands. We want to expand on the ship system and add building, decorating, and crafting on the ship as well. We plan on adding new ships and new land builds. For example, we want to add Castle building and decorating to our current building system. Other features such as full controller support, seasonal events, and additional game difficulty modes are also planned. The user interface and animations will also be improved.”

Will you rise to become the ruler of the forgotten seas, or will you become another lost soul in the Bermuda Void?

Don’t think the prizes will jump in your lap! The Dread Pirates are ancient sailors worth their salt, and the treasures are well hidden. First, you’ll need to assemble an ancient map, torn apart by time and scattered to the four winds. Second, you’ll need to find the spot and brave the dangers of whatever island or sunken ruin it guides you to. Only then can you claim the treasure for yourself and carve out your destiny on the high seas.

An intuitive dual-wielding system means fast-paced battles on land and deck. However, the true challenge lies on the high seas, as sail ships clash. Watch your speed, heading, and enemy positions. A mistake might mean that your broadside will fall short and the enemy will turn your prized ship into a mess of splinters and torn sails - just as an oceanic anomaly bears down on your both, with storms, whirlpools, and strange beasts for whom a survivor is a rare delicacy...

Between unpredictable anomalies, vicious pirates, and the ever-looming specter of hunger and dehydration, lies the mystery of the void. Where did this anomaly come from? Why does it persist? When will you be able to escape? Can you escape? The answers wait within the storms, in sunken pyramids, amidst wreckage beneath the waves. Build, farm, craft, sail, conquer - then face the ultimate challenge, taking your ship into the unknown and maybe, just maybe, finding a way back to the real world...

Forgotten Seas is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for late 2025.
