  • Ship Customization: Hull, sail, cannon, and figurehead cosmetics unlock via reputation vendors. Functional upgrades (e.g., reinforced rudder, fireproof sails) require blueprints found in high-risk zones.
  • Combat Mechanics: Cannonball types (standard, chain, grape, fire) are craftable. Boarding actions allow melee combat on enemy decks. Ships have localized damage (mast, wheel, cannons, hull breaches).

    If you are jumping into Corrupted Seas -v0.4a- -bluebite- for the first time, the learning curve is steep. Forget everything you know about Raft or Sea of Thieves. In this game, your ship is not just a vehicle; it is a living ecosystem that needs constant maintenance. | ID | Description | Repro Steps |

    The tension loop is excellent. Between islands, you manage food, rum (for sanity), and spare planks. A single storm or leviathan encounter can cascade into mutiny, starvation, or a desperate last stand against the corruption. In v0.4a, the mid-game (days 5–12) feels challenging but fair—a sweet spot where Corrupted Seas rivals Sunless Sea in atmospheric dread.

    The audio design also deserves praise. Cracking wood, distant whale-song twisted into dissonant chords, and the wet whispers of the corruption create an immersive, uneasy silence interrupted by sudden violence.
