The setting of the story, the harshness of the sea, and the people's treatment toward the main character, as well as the conclusion, were very well written!
I agree with some of the critics; maybe the interactions with the merchants could have had variations or different outcomes depending on their flags. Same for the pirates, giving up ressources to prevent a fight or a pursuit depending on their flags.
It felt a bit repetitive at times, but the story was interesting enough to keep me going, and I managed to arrive at the Strange Havens after my second playthrough.
I really enjoyed your game. Great work!
