The small team that brought us “The Messenger” in 2018 smashed their next objective to bring us the unforgettable experience called Sea of Stars.

At the initial release of the game, we are given gorgeous artwork utilizing dynamic lighting… a charming soundtrack with nighttime variants and even pirate (bardcore) tracks… an addicting battle system honoring the legacy of Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger… and an enjoyable mini-game called Wheels that is completely optional, but one you will certainly want to play over and over again!

That’s just to name a -few- positives about the game.

Now, we have been given Dawn of Equinox (a free quality of life update) that really polishes the game and is completely worth the hype. From local couch co-op play, to even more accessibility options, and even settings catering to the most ambitious of speedrunners… the game really has it all.

Sea of Stars is a 25-35 hour experience, respecting the busy working adults who cannot spend 80+ hours on an extremely long story. It is fully enjoyable as a stand alone title, but when you know that SOS is a prequel to The Messenger, you can’t help but admire the connections and extra depth this offers to the player.

We are even getting a free upcoming DLC soon with extra content! Sabotage Studio is a team that has been pouring so much heart and soul into each product they’ve created. I’m looking forward to many more years of wonderful games and can’t wait to see what other achievements they will inevitably win and be acknowledged for. Keep it up, SaboTeam!
