This game was fun to make and something that I really enjoy making. It’s a
cross of battleship and solo journal games.

This is currently the full version of the game but I may expand it. Like my
other games, I’d like to include more art and adjust the layout for a more
complete gamebook.

The game may be downloaded for free. Premium version is for supporting
the project is currently not available but when it is, I’d likely release it for
$5 for the Full Coloured Book. If you like the project, whether it is free or
paid - you can donate or look for me at my patreon: https://www.patreon.
com/sparuh

I do have my own project website at sparuh.com where I share my projects

what I do, and how I do it. This is still all very new, but I’ll update it when I
have the time to.

Alot of the things I did is out of my own personal time and money, so if you
like the game please help me by supporting or sharing the game.

If you found any flaw in the game such as game mechanics or something
wrong with the grammar like spelling errors, please reach out to me at
[email protected]. I’ll be happy to fix them up and maybe
also update some of the arts in the gamebooks I’ve released.

Another game I’ve release is Witasy Express (Currently Itchfunding) &
