Saltsea Chronicles News

We're excited to announce that Saltsea Chronicles has been selected to be part of the online music festival Save & Sound which takes place on September 11th - 14th.

Saltsea Chronicles composer, Eli Rainsberry has prepared a special video just for the event which will be showcased live and online at 8pm CET / 11am PDT.

Eli is an IGF-nominated composer, sound artist and audio designer, specialising in music and sounds for animated, interactive, and interdisciplinary works. They have been making music and sounds for games and animation since 2015. Eli explains that:

"It felt important to me that because these island communities had different, but strong visual identities and unique cultures, that my compositions were also different per community,"

"Inspiration for the music of Saltsea was sought by exploring the small stories being told by members of those communities, whether it be through their day to day activities, or how they communicate to each other."

"I’ve really enjoyed using my music as a framework to help build up and support the story being told in the game; I try to be sure to support the stories and experiences of the characters and communities the best I can."

The show will be streamed on the Save & Sound website, YouTube, and Twitch. Check out all the games part of the event on saveandsound.io

We got such a lovely reaction to our Saltsea Chronicles demo reveal during Steam Next Fest that we've decided to share it again for another limited time in the run up to announcing our release date!

If you missed it the first time around, now's your chance to get a little taste of the game before it comes out late this year...

The demo features an excerpt from chapter 4 of the game and the island community of Los Gatos. Choose from three different expedition characters as you track down clues, and meet a wonderful cast of crew members and local folks. This is approximately 1/3 of the way through the game so we're definitely dropping you in a few days after the initial adventure begins, but there aren't any huge spoilers in this excerpt, and it's a great way to get a feel for how the game plays.

There's also Spoils - a trick taking card game unique to the world of Saltsea - to play. Although please do bear in mind that in the full game the tutorial is offered in several stages, not in the paper rulesheets as in the demo here.

You will also be able to watch a stream of Creative Director Hannah Nicklin and Deputy Story Lead Sharna Jackson as they give a behind-the-scenes commentary on the demo. See below for a little screencap from the demo...
