Landfall: Dead Reckoning

The captain is gone, and the charts with him. All that remains is the name of the port you are bound for: the helm is yours.

Landfall is an old-school navigation game, with no chart and no GPS. On the open sea, with nothing but a blank sheet to draw on, you must bring your cargo safely into port. As you sail, the coast is drawn in, and it is your knowledge of the world, your crew’s hints and a seaman’s instinct that will lead you home.

SAIL BY DEAD RECKONING • An engraved chart drawn before your eyes, like those of the eighteenth century • Birds, drifting weed, soundings: land is never far for those who can read the sea • By day, brave the elements and meet pirates and merchants on the open ocean • By night, find 41 historical lighthouses and let them guide your sailors

WITH OR WITHOUT INSTRUMENTS • Take the compass aboard and never lose your bearings • Read the weather from the tube to guess where you are • Use the clock to know the time at your home port • Or sail with nothing at all, and know the coasts by their outline

ON DIFFERENT WATERS • Every day, players race each other on the course of the day • Compare your score with friends or with the whole world through Game Center • Brave the elements and meet pirates and merchants on Open sea crossings • And challenge your friends on any crossing with a QR code or a simple link

AND BECOME A CAPTAIN • A logbook where every crossing is kept, its course set against the ideal route • An atlas that fills with every coast you have seen • Unlock new ships and new charts as you gain experience • Complete quests and seal them in red wax
