A first-person sailing adventure where peaceful passages can turn treacherous. Take the helm, trim your sails and read the changing sky. Find your rhythm on sunlit seas, then fight to keep your small boat under control as storms build and waves tower overhead.
Take the helm. Respect the sea.
RED SKIES AT DAWN is a first-person sailing adventure where peaceful passages can turn treacherous. Take command of a small sloop, work the sails and watch the changing sky. Find your rhythm on sunlit seas, then fight to keep the boat under control as the weather closes in.
Currently in development. Screenshots and gameplay footage show the storm demo. Weather mapping, course plotting and voyage progression are planned for the full game.Feel when you’ve got it right.
Raise the mainsail. Turn the wheel. Trim the canvas until it fills and the boat gathers speed.
Read your instruments, listen to the rigging and watch the water ahead. Find the balance between wind, sail and heading—and enjoy the quiet satisfaction of sailing well.
A peaceful passage can unravel.
Clouds gather. A warning breaks through the radio. The horizon that felt inviting begins to look very different.
Face driving rain, lightning and waves that tower over the boat. Feel the deck pitch beneath you as the sea puts your handling to the test.
When the mast gives way, the storm does not stop.
Planned for the full game: choose your passage.
The full-game vision expands beyond the storm demo into voyages shaped by preparation, observation and the decisions you make at sea.
- Read the forecast. Study a weather map connected to the same dynamic systems you encounter on the water.
- Plot your course. Weigh the conditions, choose a route and decide when to press on, change course or turn back.
- Earn your confidence. Take on increasingly demanding passages that test your judgement as much as your handling of the boat.
Your goal is to reach your destination. Your responsibility is to bring the boat through.
Created by a solo developer to capture the beauty, freedom and fear of being out on the water.
