Of all the indie games available for players to demo during Steam’s most recent Next Fest, none made so much of a splash as Windrose. This multiplayer adventure game came recommended on practically every forum on the internet, but what exactly made it so popular?
Short answer, gamers yearn for the pirate life and Windrose delivers equal measures of land and sea to fulfill that desire. Where past pirate-themed games have failed (looking at you, ‘AAAA’ title Skull and Bones), Windrose has so far earned itself over a million wishlists through its demo and strong word of mouth.
