The story
A small journey. A place worth remembering.
An ivory sail catches a current. A distant light becomes a landmark. You are the cartographer of a quiet universe, finding your way one arrival at a time.
Choose a short passage, a longer expedition or somewhere unfamiliar. Your vessel keeps travelling while you are away, following the course you chose. Discoveries improve the ship, its instruments and a small fleet of scouts.
New Bearings carries your knowledge into another expedition. Passing the Atlas equips a new generation and opens the region Beyond the Fold. Every place you remember stays in the book.
This is a separate original game, with its own artwork and soundtrack. The native V1 has completed its local checks; Apple account, physical-device and public-hosting release steps remain. No App Store availability or release date is claimed.
What's in it
A small journey can fill a book.
Current V1 features. Release verification and App Store approval are separate steps; this game is not yet publicly available.
A course of your own
Short passages bring earlier arrivals. Longer expeditions bring greater returns. Unfamiliar places permanently extend your atlas.
Gentle currents
Trace across the voyage or use an equally effective tap button. A full solar sail briefly speeds travel and surveying. There is no precision timer.
Twelve places, three regions
Original celestial landmarks, brief observations and distinct arrival cues. Complete the atlas, then continue with deep surveys and new generations.
Two different beginnings
New Bearings grants lasting Knowledge. Passing the Atlas opens a further region and equips future expeditions. Each reset explains exactly what stays.
A score that travels
An original piano and ambient title theme, plus three regional voyage arrangements. Separate controls and softly lit Dusk and Night modes.
Complete without purchases

The original score
