The Four Acts

Act I: Green Hand

Survive the First Month

You're worthless. Prove otherwise or die trying. Learn the ropes. Literally. The sea doesn't care about your dreams.

Act II: Harpooner

Face the Whale

You've proven yourself. Now the real work begins. Hunt leviathans in fragile boats. One wrong move and you're shark bait.

Act III: First Mate

Navigate Hell

Cape Horn. The graveyard of ships. Lead men through storms that break steel. Your decisions mean life or death.

Act IV: Captain

Hunt the White Whale

You've become what you swore you'd never be. Obsessed. The white whale is out there. Fortune or madness await.

Why Whaling? Why Now?

Because it's the most intense, underexplored era in gaming. Before petroleum, whale oil lit the world. Men spent years at sea hunting 60-ton predators in wooden boats. The mortality rate was staggering. The fortunes were legendary. The psychology was dark.

This isn't romanticized pirate adventure. This is survival horror wrapped in maritime folk art. This is Oregon Trail meets There Will Be Blood meets Moby Dick. This is the game we've always wanted to play.
