Bad Devs, this is why steam is updating their early access policy SPECIFICALLY for Lewd Games, do better

As far as I know, this game was abandoned years ago.

It was good, had potential. died long ago, it seems. very disappointing, stole my capital letters.

Unfortunately, I have to admit it. This game is dead. Abandoned. The discord hasn't heard ♥♥♥♥ from the Devs for close to....... 3 years now? I really liked what they were doing with this game, but, the Devs abandoned it. So don't buy it.

Randomly abandoned

Одна из немногих игр с хорошим издателем, которые просто бросили проект. Это уже во второй раз и, походу, окончательный. Так как до этого на год они пропадали, потом снова объявились, выпустили обновление, и снова пропали. Прошло уже три года. Теперь точно можно сказать: «Якорь вам в жoпу!».

Venture Seas is a visual novel where you battle in turn-based, RPG-eske combat and manage a ship and crew. First and foremost, this title is a visual-novel type of game. You click through text boxes and make decisions on what to say (or not say). When exploring, you enter an “expedition” mode. In this mode, you have a party, complete with health and “runes”, special items for combat and special scenes. You have a “backpack” which allows you to take (limited) items from your ship with you, so I’d choose wisely. Expeditions play-out more like an RPG of sorts. You have an over-head map, and you get to explore the area in search of loot and events. Events add experience and such to your party. If you find yourself involved in a fight (which you will), you use a “deck” of runes. Runes are held in your hand like cards, and are randomly drawn in combat. They modify and and add attacks, or provide special bonus. Combat is turn-based, and each turn both sides attack and utilize their runes. Runes can unlock special scenes in non-combat situations, such as diffusing traps. You must manage your crew, hiring (or firing) new hands and stocking up on food and equipment. You are able to customize the gear your crew appears in, which is awesome. If you want you team to roam into battle topless, that’s up to you. If you want to battle topless, well my friends, you certainly can. The game starts with a screen full of endless nothingness, the Void. The protagonist has found themselves in the Void, lost and helpless. . . that is, until a shadowy, female-figure comes along. She allows you to be “reborn”, and it is here that you come-upon the character creation screen. I made a short-stature male, loosely based on myself. Emphasis on loosely. Our character finds themselves in some royal bedroom, and confronted by a “scantily-clad” woman. Her name is Mehande, and she makes it very clear that she likes our "stuff". And just like that, it was H-scene time. . . and following that, our character awoke on-board a ship of sorts. They passed-out from a “sea-water drinking contest”. . . I don’t think the character is the sharpest tool in the shed. It's hear that your journey will really begin, as the ship and its crew start exploring for loot. The artwork is really beautiful, and the scenes are just so. . . beautiful. The moment I hopped off the starting-ship into the wilderness I was greeted by some stunning forest scene, vibrant with fauna and ship-wrecks. The characters (slightly) move, and the art makes me want to do more as an artist. As an artist, one of the highest compliments one can give is that your work inspires one to draw more. Unfortunately I have to advise to avoid this game unless you like open-ended stories because, yes, this game is still in early access even 5 years later. The developer said back in 2023 on discord that the game was still in development so take that for what it is. Such a shame as it had a lot of potential. Verdict: 5/10
