Finally, Blackbeard’s days of terror are numbered! Join the
protagonist Tilia on her quest to defeat the evil pirate as the anticipated
pixel-art adventure RPG, Ocean’s Heart, launches on Steam and GOG for
$14.99/€14.99/£13.49. Brought to life by the creator of Yarntown, Max Mraz, and
publisher Nordcurrent, Ocean’s Heart pays homage to the genre classics,
enriching tried and true roleplaying concepts with a modern flair.
Ocean’s Heart is a charming pixel-art action RPG set in a spirited world
brimming with secrets, magic, and perilous affairs. As Tilia, a young girl who’s
father has been kidnapped by the ruthless pirate Blackbeard, you must set off on
a treacherous journey through a vast and dangerous wilderness to rescue him,
unraveling a web of pirate conspiracies on the way. Gather items along your
journey to craft potions as well as expand and upgrade your ever-growing arsenal
of weapons, constantly increasing your skills to fight boss adversaries and
survive deadly dungeons.
“Ocean’s Heart was created by pouring out my love of playing in the woods, going
on hikes, and discovering cool ravines or ruins. It’s about exploring, and the
sense of satisfaction of finding a mystery out there, and trying to figure out
what it means,” said Max Mraz, the developer of Ocean’s Heart. “So it lures you
off the path by being full of hidden areas that hint at stories and hide new
monsters and treasure. Creating the world of Ocean’s Heart and doing all the
art, music, writing, and design myself has been a terrific challenge, and I’m
thrilled to let everyone else into
it.”
