A downloadable game for Windows

Hello! Welcome to my first game of 2023! Cartografree!

One of my goals at the start of the year was to join at least 1 game jam. And I had my eyes on a few through the year so far but just couldn't make the time or couldn't get a good idea. However I FINALLY managed to get the time and idea for something with Mini Jam 134! And this is the end result!

Cartografree is a simple adventure game where you look for treasure using just a boat and a map! Sail around the ocean, chat with locals, catch a few critters, and mark on your map to try and figure out where the location of Blood Beard's Treasure could be!


This is Beardbeard the Bearded! An old Cartographer who recently believes he may have an idea to where Blood Beard stored his legendary pirate treasure!

The game is either going to be VERY cryptic or VERY easy. I have no idea. No one other than me has played it so I have no feedback. Good luck!


KNOWN ISSUES

Just as a heads up!! The save function seems to be broken! You have to beat the game without closing it! Your save data WILL persist when returning to the main menu, but will be deleted upon closing for some reason!

There's also lots of other general problems with the game, but I that comes with the nature of making it so quickly. Like all my other games, you can expect an update sometime in the future. Sometime after the jam has ended :)

Most of my small little silly games would not have been possible without this person's plugins, so I always have to give a special shout out to them!


As always if you like my stuff or find it even slightly interesting, please consider supporting me on Ko-Fi! I make all my money through commissions and am currently extremely broke. So every little bit helps!

Likewise, please consider joining my Patreon! A few friends are already on there, and their names can be found in the credits of the game!

Charming game, i liked the dialogue.

Nice, charming exploration game.  The NPC's were fun to interact with and the ability to mark positions on the map was a great feature.  It was a little glitchy though - sometimes Beardbeard would be walking on the water and be sailing on land.  Overall I enjoyed it and there was more to the game than I was expecting from a Mini Jam!
