Windward Build 1897873

Windward is a sandboxy naval adventure that generates a fresh, living world for every playthrough. You captain a ship through procedurally created seas where towns, trade routes, and conflicts develop dynamically. Travel further from your starting port and you'll find tougher challenges - pirates, rival factions, and emergent AI opponents that explore and react under the same rules as you do. The game supports both solo play and cooperative multiplayer, and the freedom to trade, quest, fight or simply explore gives each run a distinct feel.

The progression centers on your ship and the towns you interact with. Faster schooners excel at scouting and evasion, while massive ships-of-the-line dominate naval battles. As you supply towns and complete quests they expand, unlocking upgrades and more powerful vessels. Your growing reputation shapes how AI factions treat you: some will ally or follow you, others will avoid or attack you. Windward shines when played with friends, letting teams build influence, tackle dangerous foes, and shape the map together.
