There’s stuff out there if you push forward.Report bugs and feedback in our Discord, We'll have a better process for this soon!We’ll keep updating this playtest as we move toward the Ocean Fest demo.Break it. Explore it. Tell us what holds up :)We had to build this first map you can play now in a few days as we decided to build the later zones first. Miyamoto said build the first level last. We're taking that literally.Peace out!

• Early Voyage - 20 November 2025

  Hi! I'm Keli the driving force behind Nokai, a co-op action adventure about sailing into weird islands, fighting brutal monsters, and chasing an ancient monstrosity buried deep in the ocean.Pretty Potato Games is a young and a small Icelandic gaming company with a few tiny games already out there, Nokai however is everything but tiny!You’ll start shipwrecked, barely armed and eventually command a seaworthy vessel that becomes your lifeline. The ocean is dangerous, the land is worse, and every island pushes you closer to the thing pulling you out there.Playable solo or with friends. We’re aiming for a tight, story-driven campaign with a lot of variety in zones and enemies with the option of backtracking for those who like the grind.If this sounds like your kind of nightmare vacation, wishlist it!
