Following Seas (Spring 2018 Alpha)

Following Seas in its initial form is a video game where you control a sailboat as you work your way through different island environments.  Think the boat sections from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, but with a harpoon, grappling hook, and water-based environmental puzzles.

Following Seas was initially made over Spring 2018, but would go on to have most of it's content scrapped by Summer that same year to refocus it's vision under a different team.  This build is from before that development change.'

The once-secret 4th level can be found by sailing into the back of the building in the back alley in Level 3.
