Die Gute Fabrik has announced that Saltsea Chronicles is launching on October 12, 2023 for PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Taking the form of a story-driven adventure game, Saltsea Adventure features a unique art style inspired by risograph print techniques, which sprinkles a distant storybook aesthetic over the game’s fantasy-flavoured world. As the crew of Captain Maja, players will guide their group of misfits across island of a post-flood world known as Saltsea, ripe with strange communities, deep conspiracies, and more.
While searching for their missing captain, players will uncover secrets and resolve tensions within the crew, and swell their ranks along the way. With each chapter of the adventure, you pick which island to visit and who to send on the next adventure, unlocking different content and developing new relationships, all made easy via a lighting-fast navigation system.
From an award-winning and diverse writersroom—with experience in Young Adult fiction, film, theatre, poetry, and games—Saltsea Chronicles imagines a rich world where communities have rebuilt in the aftermath of disaster, creating a new society of connection, resilience and hope—but one still troubled by the universal questions of how to live together through conflict and change. This wide-reaching story game traces meaningful themes with humour, lightness of touch, and care.
Saltsea Chronicles is due out on October 12 for PS5.
