    You are Kara, a young woman shipwrecked on a deserted island after a storm at sea. Somehow you must survive on your wits and skill alone as you try to find the rest of your scattered tribe. Welcome to Windbound, a roguelike survival exploration game set in an archipelago, where you must build your own boat in order to explore the islands and the vast sea.

    Wander everywhere. Craft your own boat from wood and explore a rich and detailed procedurally-generated archipelago. Discover ancient ruins and their forgotten histories, and marvel at the beautiful art style reminiscent of Breath of the Wild. There are mysteries hidden away among the islands, waiting for an intrepid explorer to discover them. 

    Fight for survival against a merciless wilderness filled with dangerous, fantastic creatures. Food can be plentiful if you know what to look for. When resources become scarce, it’s time to move on.

    Create your own tools, weapons, and upgrades for your boat using wood, animal skins, bones, and more. All of these things will be necessary for survival. 

    Use all your skill and wits to survive and you may find out what mystery lies in the Forbidden Islands.
