A black citadel surrounded by glowing green fog

Pirate MMORPG · In development

Noxmaris

An online pirate game set in a cursed archipelago. The days are warm and easy. After dark, a green fog rolls in off the sea, and it doesn't come alone.

By day, it's paradise. Nobody sensible sails after dark.

The islands of Noxmaris used to be a good place to be a sailor. Then somebody dug up something that should have stayed buried. Now the fog comes in every evening, thick and green, and the drowned walk around in it like they own the place.

Most captains stay in port at night. The ones who go out anyway come back with strange cargo. If they come back.

A day at sea

Dawn

The Shallows

You wash up here with nothing. There's a wreck in the surf and a bottle with half a map inside. Honestly, not a bad start.

Late morning

The Overgrowth

Head inland and the jungle closes in fast. Somewhere in there is a temple nobody can put an age on, and one of its stones still glows at night.

Afternoon

The Old Keep

Up in the hills, a lord still flies his banners like nothing ever happened. He pays well. He just doesn't like being asked about the fog.

Golden hour

The Crown's Bastion

The Crown owns this harbour and wants everyone to know it. You can pay the toll like everybody else. Or you can wait for sunset and try your luck past the guns.

Nightfall

Smuggler's Rest

When it rains, everyone ends up here. Nobody uses their real name and the rum is awful. It's still the best place on the islands to hire a crew.

Midnight

The Drowned Light

The lighthouse is still lit, so someone must be keeping it that way. Whatever's wrapped around the tower hasn't eaten them yet.

Below

The Deep

It's quiet down here. Every ship the fog ever took ends up somewhere on the bottom, and most of them never got to unload.

The game

Find a ship and a crew. The rest of the map is up to you.

  • Go where the map runs out

    Every island is hiding something. The best spots only show up on your map once you've been there, and usually you'll have gone at night.

  • Fight what comes out of the fog

    Sea battles against cursed things, and against other players who'd quite like whatever's in your hold.

  • Bring something home

    Old relics turn up in temples and on the sea floor. Getting them back to port in one piece is the hard part.
