Explore the enchanting world of Boreas, where adventure awaits in a capricious maritime journey. Trade and discover as you navigate through its vibrant seas.
A Stylish and Peaceful Tale of One Voyager's Adventures
Boreas is an engaging single-player adventure infused with elements of simulation that gently immerses you into the world of maritime explorations. It whisks you away to a whimsical and colorful world where you play as an old sailor clad in a yellow cloak. Our hero sails the waters on his small ship, accompanied by his best friend, a seagull. Players get to follow the escapades of quirky characters from a side perspective.
At first glance, Boreas closely resembles FAR: Lone Sails (if you haven't played it, check it out on Steam, where you can purchase the title). However, unlike its apparent inspiration—which carries a gloomy atmosphere—LOW PONY's creation is designed to be charming and light-hearted. The developers describe it as an exceptionally serene and relaxing experience.
Sailing, Exploration, and Trade
In Boreas, you'll control your ship, drifting over waves between islands and archipelagos. The vessel is depicted in cross-section (much like in FAR: Lone Sails). To glide across the sea surface, you'll maintain the craft by adjusting the sails and watching the pressure. Additionally, you'll contend with various weather conditions thrown your way by the game.
The main character's journey is not aimless. He is destined to unravel the mysteries hidden behind the storm known as Boreas. But the truths will reveal themselves slowly. The sailor will require assistance from the island inhabitants along the way.
Gamers' tasks include discovering uncharted lands, meeting people, and completing their quests. Trading with the islanders is also crucial. Goods will be found right in the sea, washed ashore after storms. Trading in Boreas is not a secondary mechanism; rather, it's one of the game's core elements (after all, the developers dubbed it a trading simulator). Players will chart routes, hunt for best offers, and sell items. All these actions will unlock new opportunities for storyline progression.

By completing tasks for residents and trading, players will contribute to the development of settlements. This approach will gradually advance the storyline. The developers promise to make this maritime adventure as thrilling as possible. While it's too early to make bold claims, one thing is certain: the upcoming adventure will deliver at least an atmospheric and stylish voyage.
