What is Sea of Remnants?
You wake as a puppetfolk sailor with no memory and set out across a vast, strange sea alongside a mysterious girl, hoping to recover what the ocean has taken. Each voyage turns the open world into a roguelike stage: enemies, bosses, potential crewmates, equipment and skills change from run to run, and turn-based battles reward smart crew building.
Between voyages you return to Orbtopia, a lively pirate city, to repair and upgrade your ship and strengthen your crew. Treasure and resources brought home make permanent improvements, so progress carries over even when a voyage goes wrong. Shifting weather, sea beasts and islands from volcanic peaks to jungle keep each trip different.
