The co-op system allows you and your first mate to work together in various ways, like defending and preparing your ship and combining items to perform powerful combos. The ability to play co-op either via couch or online makes playing with another person super easy.

Ship of Fools uses a course planning system that changes in real-time. As you chart your way through every sector, the Everlasting Strom will shift, causing your path to be blocked and revealing other options. This system makes each run unique, as no two paths will be identical.

Ship of Fools was nominated and won awards for three categories at the 2022 MEGAMIGS Festival:

  • Best Art Direction and Artistic Achievement
  • Best Game Design
  • Best Audio and Music

Other games due to release in November are Goat Simulator 3, Pentiment, and Evil West.

Ship of Fools will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC through Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on November 22, 2022.
