About Windward
Windward is a sailing game in which you explore a world generated for each journey, with dynamic towns, unpredictable encounters, and networks of trade and conflict. As you sail farther from your starting point, challenges and rewards increase. Pirates lurk in uncharted waters, while AI factions explore and adapt under the same rules as you.
Sailing and trade
You can fight pirates, trade with towns, take quests or explore the open water. Towns respond to your actions and grow as you supply what they need. As they prosper through trade and questing, they offer new upgrades and more powerful ships.
Ships and reputation
Your ship is your lifeline, and different vessels suit different needs. Fast Schooners are suited to exploration, while massive Ships of the Line bring heavy firepower to battle. As your reputation grows, some AI may challenge you, while others stay out of your way; friendly AI may also choose to follow and assist you.
Solo and co-op
Windward supports solo and cooperative play. With friends, you can work together to expand your influence, face dangerous foes and build a thriving faction.
