"Saltsea Chronicles: A Captivating Community Adventure"

Saltsea Chronicles is a narrative adventure game that takes a different approach to exploration by focusing on community and cultural understanding rather than plundering resources. Players direct a collective of characters who carefully approach each island's unique culture, filling out an almanac of stickers to memorialize their journey. The game explores weighty social and political questions through personal stories and conflicts between characters, touching on themes such as restorative justice, tourism, and exploitation. While the game's ambition to tackle multiple themes and perspectives can sometimes feel overwhelming, it offers a thoughtful and ambitious narrative experience.
