SeaCret 1

SeaCret 1 is a sandbox adventure set in the Caribbean, where you can play as a merchant, pirate or governor. You trade goods between cities, build a fleet, fight naval battles and manage a city, with choices that shape its fate.

Trade and sail

The real-time economy gives each city its own goods and stock levels, and prices fluctuate. You can buy goods where they are cheap and sell them elsewhere, plan trade routes and risk carrying perishable cargo such as bananas.

You start with a tartan and can work up to larger ships, including sloops, frigates and galleons. Each ship has its own characteristics, and you can group up to three ships into a fleet. Hire sailors to crew your ships and keep them happy with beer and companionship, or they may mutiny.

Fight at sea

Naval battles pit fleets against each other in 3v3 showdowns. Cannonballs damage hulls, grape shot attacks crews and chain shot can break masts. Smaller ships are affected by the waves, and sailing against the wind requires zigzagging. You can also board enemy ships and fight their crews at close quarters.

Govern a city

As a governor, you set taxes and oversee a city’s growth. Hire villagers to automate production in your buildings and produce goods more quickly. Your decisions affect the city’s fate.

Duels and taverns

Challenge rival pirates to 1v1 duels, where ragdoll physics affect the sword fights. Critical hits and heavier strikes deal extra damage. In taverns, you can bet gold on cockfighting and extreme chess, listen for rumors about hidden loot or illicit deals, and pursue what you hear.

Crews and discoveries

Build production facilities and have villagers make materials automatically. The Caribbean also contains easter eggs and references to find. Each port has its own soundtrack, from shanties in pirate dens to harpsichord music in trade hubs.
