You start your voyage as Captain Bones, but without a ship or a crew. In fact, you start with basically nothing, and the only way you can live up to your reputation as a fearsome pirate Captain is to rebuild your life, acquire a ship, and hire a new crew.

There are pirate islands all over the open world, and you can hunt for treasure, collect resources, and meet all sorts of fascinating characters on them. You can craft weapons and watercraft such as yachts and small boats using resources from the islands.

Using a raft, you can travel to other islands in search of more resources and adventures. Remember to watch your back though! Even though you don’t have much right now, you still have a very bad reputation and will be captured or killed on sight by navy troops.

Explore the islands, make friends, help people complete tasks, and soon you’ll have enough money to buy a real ship and hire a crew. Sail the high seas and loot ships for treasure and trade goods. Rebuild your reputation as a fearsome pirate and build up a hoard of treasure unlike anything ever seen before!

Look after your crew well. Make sure that they are well-fed, disciplined, and treated fairly; then they will serve you loyally and help you grow your wealth even more.

The decisions you make, and the way you treat your crew and friends will have a significant impact on how your journey turns out, so make your decisions carefully!

‘Captain Bones’ is developed by ‘Saygin Karahan,’ and is coming to Steam in 2022.
