FAR Lone Sails — An Atmospheric Vehicle Adventure

Under overcast 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 cemetery for submarines and super-tankers. Once bustling island settlements have decayed into hilltop ruins. Is there anything that can be salvaged? 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 fuelled, maintained and upgraded in order to overcome the challenges that lie ahead.

FAR reinterprets the role of vehicles in games. With the movement of the vehicle, the game creates a vast dynamic sphere in which the player can act freely. The player explores the various functions of the vehicle and drives farther and farther through a stunning scenery. The game combines an atmospheric journey with intuitive but complex mechanics. This award-winning game is commercially available on Steam.
