Saltsea Chronicles is a narrative adventure game. It was developed by Die Gute Fabrik, known for such games as Sportsfriends, Where is my Heart? and Mutazione.
The game is set in a flooded world, most of the land submerged unnderwater. It tells the story of a ship crew, whose vessel was stolen, while their captain went missing.
The crew boards their own ship to reclaim it, setting out on a journey to learn what happened to their captain.
Saltsea Chronicles is an adventure game heavily emphasizing its story. The player must explore the world, talk to NPCs and make decisions that shape how the plot develops.
The world consists of many islands, to which players can head in any order, anytime they please, taking different crew members onto different expeditions. Our choices affect character relationships, often causing tensions we must de-escalate.
Aside from the main storyline, there are also many optional side quests available. An additional activity is the playable Spoils card game, the people's favorite pastime in this world.
The game is only playable in singleplayer.
Saltsea Chronicles features appealing 2D visuals. The artstyle is highly unusual, based off risographic prints.

GamesHub: 3 / 5 by Christie McQualter
My experience with Saltsea Chronicles was a very conflicted one. It’s unlike anything I’ve played before and I appreciated its genuine uniqueness. It boasts an intricately crafted world with an intriguing investigative system, colourful characters and seemingly endless choices. But as much as I liked the narrative conceit, the way it unfolded felt long-winded in a way that struggled to keep a firm hold of my attention.

As the fanciful tale starts winding down and the end is in sight, Saltsea Chronicles’ metaphysical mysteries begin taking shape. It is a deeply moving story of love, loss, and understanding that no matter who you are or where you come from, that rooted sense of helping your fellow neighbor will always be there, and it is important to act and cause a positive change in your society.

A relaxing exploration of a fictional world in which characters discover themselves as much as they do each other.
