What’s in the Demo?

This is a slice of the core gameplay loop:

  • 2 playable ships

  • All ship upgrades unlocked

  • 6 ports to explore

  • Company HQ basic upgrades

  • Temporary boost items (yes, Nitro is included)

No licenses. No extra regions. No weather system. No time of day.

Just you, a canal, and containers that are absolutely not tied down properly.

Why Play During Next Fest?

  • Help us tune balance and progression ahead of Early Access

  • Stress test the physics (intentionally or not)

  • Leave feedback directly from inside the game

  • And if you enjoy it — a wishlist helps greatly!

We’ve been steadily expanding the game since its early prototype and Next Fest is the first time players get hands-on access to the updated PC graphics and visual improvements.

The full Early Access release is planned for Spring 2026.

If the canal gets blocked during your session, that’s not a bug. That’s training.
