A voyager, swept by ocean currents into a bustling world of pirates: new companions, new ways to play, new adventures.

Nothing on the sea is ever certain— at every turn, chance encounters await.

What was meant to be a carefree voyage begins to shift as memories surface— a name, a past, the truth.

When the next moment arrives, how will the voyager choose, and how will they return?
