FAR: Lone Sails

FAR: Lone Sails is a platformer about traveling on an unusual ship. The player controls a car that moves across a dry sea. The collected items serve as fuel for the engine. Achievements are associated with discoveries along the way. Landscapes vary from deserts to the coast. The project is completed in a couple of hours. The cabin can be decorated with finds. The cart holds supplies. Control comes down to a couple of buttons. The world is empty after the disaster, and there are almost no people on the way. Ruins, signs and abandoned things remind us of the past. The mechanisms have to be cleaned of soot and debris. The ship is pulling a cart with supplies. Each stop reveals a new mystery. Melodies accompany every action. The ending leads to water. The canyon walls serve as roads. Short scenes interrupt the journey. The ship requires fuel and maintenance. The sails, turbine and mechanisms are turned on manually. Stops give you a break and time to look around. Storms and landslides force us to change our route. Found items are placed in the cabin. The path leads to the sea. The assembled gears are put in place. The controls are simple. The path is marked with milestones. Obstacles are solved with simple but elegant riddles. Somewhere you will have to light a fire, somewhere you will have to raise a bridge. There are no words in the game, and the story is told through landscapes and music. The journey takes several hours. The credits sum up the journey. Water and fire serve as clues. Silence serves as the background of the story. The wind helps the sail. The creaking of mechanisms is constantly heard. For those who love quiet travel, this project is suitable.
