About Sinking the Boats
Sinking the Boats is a narrative-driven game set in a fictional story against the historical backdrop of 1943 China. You play as a group of underground workers and make decisions that can affect your own lives and the lives of others. The story includes puzzles, espionage, identity crises, a mysterious visitor, loyalty and betrayal, and a small amount of romance.
The wartime setting
In April 1943, the Japanese Eleventh Army gathers troops to eliminate the main forces of China’s 6th Theater, open the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and seize the Chinese army’s ship materials. Forces across the theater scheme and fight openly and secretly in a fierce, bloody struggle. Nanjing, a distant city, becomes key to victory, and the story begins there.
Chapters and choices
You follow the plot through different chapters and characters’ perspectives. Your choices can lead to a character’s death or imprisonment, but neither ends the game: the world continues, and others carry on the fight for the same goal. Victory comes at a price.
