Upon waking, she is left with nothing but a knife, her wits, and a mystical necklace that will help her find her tribe. A sea monster rises from the deep and annihilates her vessel.

A mere 6 months after release I’ve dipped my toe into the waters of this seafaring survivalist title, to see what all the fuss is about.

The spear does reduced damage to make up for the orbs. Up to 3 orbs can be 'stored' beside Kara at once, and all charged orbs will fire with one use. Sea Witch's Broomstick: A spear that charges up target seeking orbs that float around Kara.Sea Witch's Dress: When equipped, Kara will respawn nearby upon death, but this will only work ONCE per chapter.Sea Witch's Hat: When equipped, potions require less ingredients to craft, are prepared faster and last longer.The pumpkin will grant one of three items selected at random: Each of them grants a Halloween themed item that gets added to the blessing shrine upon collection.
