Tidebound is an indie game set in a captivating pirate and sea mythos world, where you’re resurrected by Davy Jones himself to be his harbinger of souls.

Tidebound features a streamlined, easy-to-learn hack-and-slash combat system combined with powerful soul and water-themed abilities.

Wield unique tide-themed weapons as you explore, either solo or alongside friends in co-op, adding fresh tactical depth and style to every battle.

Tidebound began as a simple question: what would a fast, weighty top down hack-and-slash feel like if it were built around a pirate themed world and curse? From the earliest designs, our goal was to blend tight, satisfying ARPG combat with a playful yet ominous sea mythos inspired world.

Early concepts explored the contrast between the vibrant chaos of pirate life and the eerie stillness of the Hollowed Realm, shaping the visual language that defines the Mawed Archipelago today.

The world of Tidebound was built to feel alive, dangerous, and full of stories. Environmental concept art and early blockouts laid the foundations for islands scarred by past battles, cursed waters, and forgotten pirate legends.

We paid close attention to how lighting, color, and environmental storytelling could guide players through combat encounters while reinforcing the supernatural influence of the tidebound curse.
