Of Trade & Survive

Raise anchor! On course for adventure, full speed ahead!

You are people of marble kin, poor buggers and officers of the free-trade ship Poise on the endless trading quest across the violaceous waves of the wast space of dark and glimmering Inner Frontier. You have a crew – funky small and pale “provls”, along with some goods for trade, an appropriate amount of supplies, and the wide sunless seascape with countless shores to fulfill your urge to explore.
Barter with far-flung colonies, engage the enigmatic, profitable, and deadly outsiders. Survive, in wealth and breath, as long as fate permits. And don’t forget – the sea is warm but intolerant for unwary sailors.

In front of you is a small but complete adventure game, about trading, survival, sea dangers and diesel ships. This game also is somehow connected to our bigger project, On Ulterior Waves – the book full of maritime adventures, economical surviving, alchemical dieselpunk, shadows of upcoming war and unexpected discoveries about the social, biological, historical and other aspects of the characters' existence. If you're interested in learning more and trying your hand at being reckless sea traders, leave your contacts, via the link inside the file. 

 And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to see our news (and memes)! And also, please give this game a rating you feel is fair. Any feedback would mean a lot to us!
