Saltsea Chronicles is a beautiful, fun, cozy mystery game with delightful characters and charming music. A great new indie game!
Saltsea Chronicles crafts a striking storybook world and populates it with deeply human characters on a fantastical journey into the unknown.
Saltsea Chronicles is a gorgeous addition to the adventure game genre. The characters feel like living people with their own hopes, dreams, and ambitions and work wonderfully alongside a story that examines our human nature within the actual forces of nature.

Your search for your missing crew member will take you to some intriguing places in Saltsea Chronicles.
