Cape of Storms

Cape of Storms

Helm a ship plagued by dangers, both physical and emotional. Dodge obstacles to survive, but don't lose hope or the journey will be doomed to fail. With perfect timing, you can use the obstacles to your advantage. The wrecked ships that would damage your hull can instead repair it; the waves that would block your path can clear it; and the clouds that steal your spirits can cast new light into your adventure.

The game is very close at heart to our team, as it builds upon the culture and mythos of the Portuguese People. The villain of our story is Adamastor, a personification of the storms and hopelessness of the voyages in the Maritime Exploration, as written by Luís de Camões in his literary work of global renown, "Os Lusíadas". In addition to this, we drew inspiration from the Azulejo, the portuguese ceramic tiles that ornate our streets and buildings.
