About the Game

WELCOME TO FAIRWIND!

Set sail for an immersive nautical journey that blends ocean exploration with deep sailing mechanics. Command your vessel, navigate dynamic weather, and run a profitable trade route across a living archipelago.

SAILING MECHANICS

• Advanced but accessible sailing that rewards forward thinking and operating multiple stations to sail your ship.
• Catch the wind, adjust your angles, and tack cleanly across open water to successfully reach your destination.
• Reef your sails to keep from capsizing when bad weather rolls in.

EVER CHANGING OCEAN

• Explore a vast open world filled islands scattered across distinct biomes.
• Voyage through shifting weather, dramatically changing waves, and a full day/night cycle that makes every trip feel unique.
• Anchor in vibrant towns and quiet villages, each with their own needs and regional products.

CARGO & ECONOMY

• Tetromino shaped cargo means preparing for each voyage is a satisfying puzzle.
• Goods that degrade and lose value over time if poorly stored or exposed to harsh conditions.
• Supply and Demand economy system that changes on the needs of the settlement.

SHIPS & MAINTENANCE

• Four distinct vessels from nimble sloops to massive galleons, each with their own characteristics and sail plan.
• Replace worn sails, repair leaky hulls and purchase specialized ship upgrades at harbour masters around the world.
• Keep your vessel shipshape by bailing water and patching hulls or risk sinking.
