About the story
Under cloud-strewn skies, the player travels across a seemingly endless dried-up sea, littered with the remains of a once vibrant seafaring civilization. The game’s world is largely devoid of life, yet filled with places to explore and history to discover. What once was the bottom of an ocean, has turned into a graveyard for submarines and super tankers. Once bustling island settlements have decayed into hilltop ruins. What secrets do they hold? And more importantly… is there any salvage to be found?! While the greater goal of the journey remains to be uncovered by the player, urgent short-term necessities call for immediate action. The train-like vehicle needs to be fueled, maintained and upgraded to master the challenges that lie ahead. After the character dressed in a red outfit, stumbles upon the mysterious machine, he traverses the dried-up seabed. During this journey you incounter various puzzles blocking your progress through the seabed. Some of these puzzles also add a new module to the machine. These include; a sail, fire extinguisher, welder and automated waste catcher.

Critic Reviews
Switch Atlantic
By Tyler HiggsSomehow, with its cold and isolated tone there was still a lot of heart in this adventure. Travelling along with my steam engine never got old and I could continue doing it for a long time to come. The puzzles are fairly simple, and it’s a pretty short game, but it’s definitely worth playing for the experience it gives you. I can recommend FAR: Lone Sails to almost any player.
Nintendo Life
By Vikki BlakeWithout saying a word, FAR: Lone Sails conveys a poignant tale of hope and perseverance, masterfully balancing style with substance for an experience that feels every bit as sublime as it looks. Sure, you could grumble about the shortness of the experience, the occasionally obtuse puzzles and the very, very minor control issues, but these problems dissolve away once you're invested in the journey. We highly recommend that you give this a spin.

By Justin NationThis is one of those titles where I walked into the experience not really knowing much about it, being surprised by it being something quite different, and coming away very impressed...
