High Tide

v0.0.4 The day exists now: seven posts, two places each, and you hand out the work Fishing, rain catcher, still, repairs, galley, lookout, bunk Who works beside whom is the point. The card tells you the cost before you confirm Rigs stopped being free money: manned they yield double and break half as often Repairs cost a day of somebody's work, not scrap Leave two who want each other alone in the galley and you find out at dawn The evening is five tickets, then you choose who you turn in with Drink no longer wears off between rounds. A night only goes one way Voyage contracts: Rescue, Safe Harbour, High Tide, The Rival, All of It Adrift is still there and still the default. Nobody loses the sandbox Losing takes four days of the same state, and you are warned on the first Silas is the rival. He works at her every fourth round and says so in the log Three counters: stay close, keep her attention, or post him across the boat Three at once is possible now: your partner and two more who agreed to it Nobody gets left behind. Your primary stays your primary They have to be talked into it. Openness is not enough on its own — trust is the other half Pregnancy stopped being a coin flip: a 28-day cycle each, offset, 2% to 65% She tells you where she is in it if she trusts you. Hunger and thirst suppress it The game stopped changing your partner without asking. It asks days ahead and you can refuse End it with her, on your terms, whenever you want Clear the Air: the first way down from a grudge that is not just waiting Sway does three new things: seed doubt, send someone below, pour them another Sway works on the men. It always should have Resentment stopped spiralling: peak 37 down to 12, over 900 measured voyages Two men on deck no longer kill the round with m/m off: 15 dead rounds a voyage down to 0 Nobody sits out 52 rounds any more. Worst run is 4 "Clear their head" was infinite. It is not Loading a save shows the day you loaded, not "voyage just begun" The dead stopped joining in: not a third, not a witness, not still warming up Six new achievements: Thirty Days, Every Bunk Full, High Tide, He Went Home v0.0.3 Leysa: a woman on a raft, no memory, no name From day 18, castaways or not. The raft never comes back Somebody has to go in after her: you, the strongest, or draw lots Three days aboard before she's in the bowl Five things you learn by watching her. She knows none of them Silas and Vera say no to her. Once.
