Cape of Torments

PLAY IN FULLSCREEN for a better experience.

Submission for Historically Accurate Game Jam #5

The year is 1487. You play as Bartolomeu Dias, sent by order of the King of Portugal, El-rei Dom João II, to chart the coast of Africa and discover if there is a way to reach India by sea. India's trade with Europe had been blocked by the Persian Empire, but if there is a way to reach India by sea, Europeans could trade with India directly! Take the wheel and keep an eye on that coast, and do not let the waves take you under the sea.

Click on the Sail on the top-right corner to deploy/retract the sails of your caravel.

Click on the book to access the Captain's Log.

Click and drag the wheel to steer the ship left or right. Wind affects the direction the ship turns and moves. If you hit the rocks, you lose the game.

Thanks for playing!

(The game has several bugs regarding the rendering and collision detection, but unfortunately I am unable to figure out the problem in time. I did the rendering from scratch and I would have to reprogram the entire thing. Sorry about that, and I hope it doesn't hurt the gameplay too much)
