Game Overview
Floating on a creaky wooden airship above a vast desert filled with treasures and dangers, players will journey deep into the Wild West as they survive the harsh landscape and save a young America from a monstrous threat. Ride the winds over the desert biomes in your hot air balloon powered airship. Build a propeller engine and a helm to pilot your airship. Land to explore abandoned towns, attacked outposts, underground caves and more. Explore quickly and quietly, for whenever you land the Seeker hunts you from beneath the sands! Search each location for the items you need to survive, build and craft. Build your airship into a multi story floating fortress packed with crafting stations. Craft weapons and turn the tide on the Seeker! Harvest resources from the desert to help you on your adventure. Craft items, tools, weapons and more. Your goal isn’t just survival, but victory!
