What is Salt?

Salt is a first-person, open-world exploration game that begins on an island where you build a raft. You sail across a procedurally generated ocean, chart islands, collect gear, encounter pirates, and take on a main quest or side quests.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy charting islands and searching for rare gear
  • +you prefer choosing your own route through an open world
  • +you want to sail and trade items with friends

Not for you if...

  • −you need clear direction instead of open-ended wandering
  • −you want fast-paced action rather than sailing and exploration

What players say
