“Sea of Ruins” tells the story of a traveler who remembers nothing but finds himself in the same sea again and again. Players will need to travel across the island, explore ruins and gradually recover their lost memories. There will be different areas in the game, each with its own conditions. These include sunny Corf Island, rain-drenched Crazy Leaf Island and numerous ruins. Exploration will be combined with turn-based combat on land and sea, with team composition and available options changing as the journey progresses.
