About this game
The map is the mechanic
Tidewalker hands you a blank chart and a tide table. Islands connect and separate on a six-hour cycle, so a route that exists at dawn is open water by noon. Progress is not a skill tree; it is a better chart, drawn by you.
Turn-based, but not tactical
Encounters are conversations with weight rather than fights. Every party member has somewhere they would rather be, and if you spend too long chasing your own objective they will take the boat and go there.
Twenty hours, no filler
One pass through the archipelago runs about twenty hours. There is no daily login, no season, and no post-launch roadmap. When it is finished it is finished.
What you get
- Hand-drawn chart that fills in as you sail
- Six-hour tide cycle changes all routes
- Party members with their own agendas
- ~20 hours, single complete story
- Cloud-free saves, one file you can copy

I have never been so pleased with a piece of paper. Finishing the chart is the real ending; the story just happens along the way.

My navigator left in hour fourteen because I kept ignoring her island. Fair.

Runs on anything, saves to one file, respects your evening. More of this.
