Sleeping Gods

Set sail for wonder in “Sleeping Gods” — an epic, open-world campaign where you and your crew explore mysterious seas, discover ancient totems, and awaken powers long forgotten.

As Captain Sofi Odessa, command the steamship Manticore through a living atlas of islands and dangers. Chart courses, survive encounters, and make story-shaping choices in a richly illustrated, narrative adventure you can pause and resume across multiple sessions.

How the Game Works

Each session, your crew navigates the map atlas, reading entries in the storybook as you explore new locations. Manage health, fatigue, and supplies while resolving skill checks and tactical card-based combat. Choices ripple forward—unlocking quests, items, and branching paths that make each voyage uniquely yours.

Play cooperatively or solo, saving your progress in a journal. The campaign ends when time runs out—or when you’ve gathered enough totems to rouse the sleeping gods and find a way home.
