Online, you can ride along in a friend’s boat and play flag tag. But it is not a crafting game: you do not cook or craft items, and there are no famous characters. There are no timers, no fighting on foot, and only gentle sea battles against storms and living waves (single-player only). The full game also plays in a web browser.
