A 77 average that undersells it — ask the 140 people who rated it. Survival is the whole game — scarce resources, bad odds, and every small win feeling huge. Solo only, and better for it — this is a one-player experience through and through.

About this game

Far: Lone Sails is a vehicle adventure game. The player needs to maintain and upgrade their unique vessel to traverse a dried-out sea, with the remains of a decaying civilization scattered out on the seabed. Keep your unique vessel going, overcome numerous obstacles and withstand the hazardous weather conditions.

Under cloud-strewn skies, the player travels across a seemingly endless dried-up sea, littered with the remains of a once vibrant seafaring civilization. The game’s world is largely devoid of life, yet filled with places to explore and history to discover. What once was the bottom of an ocean, has turned into a graveyard for submarines and super tankers. Once bustling island settlements have decayed into hilltop ruins. What secrets do they hold? And more importantly… is there any salvage to be found?! While the greater goal of the journey remains to be uncovered by the player, urgent short-term necessities call for immediate action. The train-like vehicle needs to be fueled, maintained and upgraded to master the challenges that lie ahead. After the character dressed in a red outfit, stumbles upon the mysterious machine, he traverses the dried-up seabed. During this journey you incounter various puzzles blocking your progress through the seabed. Some of these puzzles also add a new module to the machine. These include; a sail, fire extinguisher, welder and automated waste catcher.
