Hey there; just read through The Mariner and I like it! How did you decide to base your game on the poem? Completely coincidentally, I also made a Wretched & Alone game about despair on open water. I've got some community copies available if you want to check it out. It's called "The Final Voyage of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

So pleased you enjoyed it. I honestly couldn't tell you where the idea of basing it on a poem came from - I was a big fan of Iron Maiden growing up which might explain it. One of those odd moments where several things I was reading and listening to that week all seemed to involve old wooden ships, which definitely drove me in that direction. Nabbed a copy of The Final Voyage, so looking forward to taking a look at it.
