Beyond the Chart

Call the deep. Command the storm. Survive the last longitude.

Beyond the Chart is a turn-based naval roguelike about command under pressure. Choose a captain and a ship, build a deck of orders, and cross a three-act sea that redraws itself around every decision.

Enemy intentions are visible. The safe answer rarely is. Brace before a broadside, break a formation, bargain with a cursed relic, or spend tomorrow's strength to survive today.

Five captains. Five ways to command.

Every captain brings a distinct doctrine, card pool, and story. Lead a disciplined gunline, turn a boarding action into profit, weaponize the occult—or take the two newest commands into stranger waters.

Naya, the Beastcaller, fights beside creatures drawn from beneath the waves. The Storm Ritualist prepares rites, reads the changing weather, and turns the storm itself into a weapon.

Fight beside the things beneath the waves.

Naya's sea beasts are active members of the formation, not decorative summons. Protect them, direct their attacks, and build around a living force that grows more dangerous as the battle unfolds.

Raise the altar. Read the storm.

The Storm Ritualist changes the rhythm of a turn. Prepare rituals, hold thunder for the right moment, and choose whether the weather becomes shelter, setup, or destruction.

Every voyage leaves a different legend.

Routes reveal risk, not certainty. Events can reshape your deck, your ship, and the Curse gathering below it. Relics and permanent card upgrades can turn a basic broadside into an engine—or turn the vessel itself into the weapon.
