BALSEO: The Sea Beyond

About the Game

The Tempilcahue—the mythical boatman who ferries the dead to the beyond—has vanished, and you are now a forsaken soul set adrift. Venture forth in his boat, uncover the mystery behind his disappearance, and claim your destiny.

Will you find eternal rest, or will you succumb to the fog?

Stealth is your tool

Advance through the shadows with cunning and tactics; devise a strategy to remain unseen. Master different abilities and use them wisely to overcome every challenge.

Escape is your salvation

If you are discovered, the silence is shattered and gives way to a frantic chase. Run, improvise, and fight in a desperate escape where the environment may be your only ally.

Face the extraordinary

You will confront creatures that, while powerful and extraordinary, inhabit the physical and tangible dimension, roaming as naturally as wild animals. Face them with both daring and fear.

Traverse a shifting archipelago

Every time you begin a voyage, the geography transforms. You must adapt to new routes, unforeseen dangers, and unknown terrains in every attempt. The path to the beyond is rewritten with every tide.
