SALT & TIDES
A downloadable game for Windows
Title: [SALT & TIDES] — Alpha Protocol
Navigate. Survive. Profit.
Take the helm of a lone fishing vessel in a vast, procedurally influenced 2D world where the sea is your greatest provider and your most dangerous enemy. In this top-down adventure, there are no hand-holding mini-maps—only your compass, your crew, and your wits stand between you and the deep.
Key Features:
Master the Market: Catch and sell various fish species to fund your expansion. Manage your fuel, hull integrity, and starting capital of 190.0 carefully to survive the early voyages.
Deep Progression: Move beyond simple rods. Unlock Tier 2 Fishing zones and master the Harpoon Gun, keeping your ammo crates stocked with bolts from local docks.
The Boat is Your Life: Upgrade your ship’s tier, manage a professional crew, and repair storm damage at local islands. Watch your hull health—the sea is not easy.
Contractual Living: Earn rewards from Mayors and Dockmasters. Whether you are delivering rare books, transporting fuel, or rescuing lost bots, every mission brings you closer to uncovering the world's secrets.
Dynamic World: Experience a full Day/Night cycle and changing seasons that affect fish spawning and weather intensity.
