About

Sword of the Sea is an atmospheric surfing exploration game. You play as the Wraith, reborn in a desolate world of endless dunes, gliding across waves of sand on the ancient Hoversword. Part surfboard, part skateboard, part snowboard, the Hoversword lets you carve, soar, and trick your way through vast landscapes while restoring life to a long-buried ocean.

The game blends fluid movement with gentle exploration and environmental puzzles. The game emphasizes flow—missed jumps or sloppy tricks rarely break momentum, keeping the ride meditative. While there is a main path to follow, there are many optional challenges with hidden treasure chests, a tetra currency to collect, hidden shells and tiles, trick high score attack challenges and other secrets. Optional shrines can be visit to learn more about the game's world and history.

Often, when restoring water to the world, new means of exploration become available. The game is entirely HUDless and when dying the main character immediately respawns. The tetra currency can be exchanged at some locations for additional abilities. Other abilities become available by progressing through the game. Environments range from glittering deserts and icy peaks to drowned ruins filled with marine life.
