Fading Tides is a pirate action roguelite themed around time and adventure, following a motley crew of stolen seafarers, each with their own story to tell. Urged to form a crew and defeat an unknown threat, you sail across an archipelago, recruiting colourful misfits as time ticks and the tides fade. 
You explore the islands and uncover items that you can either use or shatter, changing their effect and imbuing that effect onto your weapons. Use these items to cobble together unique builds that you can use to fight a diverse range of enemies from island to island. Forging your path, you creep closer to the centre of the archipelago, encountering increasingly challenging enemies as they attempt to stop you. But before long, you arrive at the centre.

With this unknown threat just within arms reach, your crew readies their weapons… and finds themselves back where they began, with only questions remaining.

So with your newly recruited crewmates, you set off again, hoping to have those questions answered.​
