A Life Under Sails
An open-Caribbean pirate sandbox. Planned for December 2026.
Somewhere around 2004, a pirate game ate my childhood summers. It never got a worthy successor, so I stopped waiting and started building one.
Kaperfahrt is a living Caribbean. Board an enemy ship and it sails under your flag from that day on. Blockade a harbor and watch grain prices climb, because the economy truly reacts. Hunt the 23 infamous captains of the Blacklist, each convinced they are the main character.
Every ship you capture becomes yours. Up to four sail into battle at your side, in formation, under one flag.
Ports produce, trade and starve. Cut a supply line and the markets remember who did it.
23 infamous captains with their own agendas roam the map. Hunt them your way, and take their ships home.
Calm, breeze, fresh wind and storm decide how brave you sail. The sea sets the terms.
Sign up directly on the Steam page. The first waves start as soon as the build meets the bar, and your feedback lands right inside the game, on a literal wish board.
