Saltline

A survival fishing RPG with PS1-era soul. The storm came out of nowhere. One moment you were hauling nets; the next, your boat was gone. You wake on a tiny island with a few palms, a ring of shallow green water, and a stick with some fishing line tied to it. No food. No fresh water. No boat. If anyone lives out there, you’ll have to find them. Stay alive Watch your health, food, water and energy as the days pass. Shake palms for coconuts, cook your catch over the campfire, and sleep through the cold nights. Raw fish might make you sick, and fish spoil after three days. Let any of your needs run dry and the sea will claim you. Fish to survive Cast from the shore, wait for the bite, then fight the fish: hold to reel, and ease off when it thrashes or the line will snap. Better rods land bigger fish. Better bait brings faster bites and rarer catches. Fill your field guide with 23 species, from Silver Sprats in the shallows to Giant Squid in the deep. You’ll reel in the odd old boot and message in a bottle, too. Build your way off the island Gather driftwood and palm fiber, then build at your workbench: rope, a shelter, a rain catcher, and boats. Each boat takes you into deeper water: Raft: the ShallowsCanoe: the ReefSkiff: the Open SeaSloop: the Deep Sea Deeper water holds bigger fish and stranger places. Find civilization Four island settlements lie out on the water, and each one treats castaways differently: Pell’s Landing: a friendly fishing village that will trade with anyone.Coralhaven: a proud reef town that won’t deal with outsiders until you earn their trust.Ironhook Harbor: a rich port that charges a license to fish its waters, and its patrols enforce it.Lantern Deep: a mysterious station far out in the Deep Sea that guards the secret of the Abyss King. Sell your catch, buy supplies and bait, rent boats and rods by the day, buy fishing permits, sleep at the inn, or work the docks for coin. If a rented boat runs out while you’re too far from home, a crew will tow you back to port.
