One Last Voyage on the Starlit Sea
A downloadable game
“Our ship lies at the bottom of the sea, along with it our mortal lives. Now, as spirits, we embark on one final voyage—a journey across the Starlit Sea toward the abyss. The seas are calm, and the sailing is smooth, now all that remains is to confront our past deeds, seek closure, and embrace the fate that awaits us in the great beyond.”
What is this game?
One Last Voyage On The Starlit Sea is a collaborative storytelling game where you and your friends play as the ghostly crew of a sunken pirate ship, sailing the mysterious Starlit Sea—a purgatory between life and death. On this final voyage, you’ll gather one last time to recount your greatest adventures and confront the events that led to the crew’s ultimate demise.
How do you play?
Guided by a deck of cards, you and your fellow players will craft shared memories of treasure hunts, betrayals, battles, and bonds forged on the high seas. As the story unfolds, any player can introduce an unexpected “Twist of Fate,” steering the narrative into uncharted waters.
Each game is a unique journey of reflection, where the truth behind the crew’s downfall is revealed only as you create it together. Will you find closure before your spirits sail into the great beyond, or will your past haunt you forever?

Well done! Sounds like a great way to Tell Tales, especially with some Fate twists 🏴☠️
I'm pretty sure these Last voyages can become pretty emotional. Safety tools (and tissue) are required :)
This looks like a ton of fun.
Also a game that is inviting enough that people can actually drink while playing! Ah, to become a true pirate.
A big part of my inspiration for this game was actually wanting to have something I could break out at a moment's notice when hanging out with friends. I mean, who doesn’t want to pretend to be ghost pirates while drinking some ale?
Zach killed it, making a concise, evocative, and compelling game for amazing collaborative storytelling. When he reached out to me to collaborate I was already interested and then when I read through it I was stoked to help bring it to life.
I appreciate the kind words! The art and layouts that you created for the game really made the game come together!
