Maritime Calling
Command a ship on a perilous voyage to the New World. Manage your crew, supplies, morale and repairs, navigate procedurally generated seas, fight tactical naval battles, and lead text-based island expeditions where every decision can shape the fate of your journey.
Maritime Calling is a seafaring survival RPG where you take command of a ship bound for the New World. As captain, you are responsible not only for the course of the voyage, but for every life on board.
Manage your crew, assign sailors to their posts, keep morale from collapsing, repair hull damage, ration supplies and make sure your ship can survive the next stretch of open sea. Every journey brings new hazards, from reefs and shoals to storms, enemy vessels and the slow pressure of hunger, fatigue and fear.
Sailing is more than a backdrop. You directly control your ship, adjust to the wind, handle sails and rigging, and learn to maneuver a heavy vessel that does not turn on a whim. In battle, positioning matters. In bad weather, one mistake can cost you dearly.
Beyond the deck, island expeditions unfold through text-based narrative events. Send your crew ashore to gather resources, investigate mysteries, face local dangers and make decisions shaped by your sailors’ skills. Some choices bring supplies and treasure. Others bring wounds, losses or consequences you will have to carry back to the ship.
Each voyage takes place across a procedurally generated world of islands, reefs, shipwrecks, shoals and stormy waters. Improve your crew, develop your ship and choose your route carefully. There are no second chances at sea, and every decision can become the difference between returning home and disappearing beyond the horizon.
