About Tides of Despair

After a shipwreck, you are one of the survivors.

You make it to land, but soon discover that you are not welcome.

To survive, you will have to build a base for your own protection.

The ship got stuck in the water and many boxes with things inside were floating in the sea.

The tides will start to go down, and new little islands will pop up with stuff to gather.

To avoid the dangers of the sea, such as sharks, you will have to build a raft to be able to explore the islands that will appear when the tide goes down.



Important Disclaimer:.


I am a solo developer working hard to get the game out, but it's important to mention that many features aren't there yet.
I want to develop the game further based on Early adopters feedback and implement your ideas to the game

A game with good potential, but you can see that it's a bit "bare". The graphics are good and not heavy, but all the islands lack "beauty" they are poor in vegetation, flowers do not exist and animals are few. The translation is very bland although understandable. The controls are easy and intuitive. It must certainly be enriched. At full price it's still not worth it. current rating 6/10 I hope the project will not be abandoned as it is.

I Did not find any value in this game. I do appreciate someone going out of their comfort zone to try and make a game, I know I could not do it. This should still be in early access and needs tremendous content to be considered a game.

DO NOT BUY this game, complete ripoff, game dev made empty promises and took the money and ran. Barely playable game, was supposed to be in Early Access for 6 months to a year with regular updates, instead the game left EA in less than 2 weeks and the dev just vanished, Steam doesn't care, they got their cut of the money as well.

I am enjoying the game so far. Haven't played much of it, but I am a fan of survival games in general. For me personally, what would make it better would be more stuff like the heat of the sun effecting the player, the ability to craft, repair and alter clothing and/or armour if needed against the heat or attack, rashes and sunburn to worry about, stuff like that. Just some more realistic survival elements to think about with regards to the environment itself. Maybe more realism with the animals and vegetation too. I hope the developer makes it into a more fully developed island sandbox survival type game as this could have lots of potential on its own, much like Stranded deep. Or at least, if they are going to make a story out of it, keep the sandbox mode available separately too :)
