North Bay
Your Bay. Your Tides. Your Call.
North Bay's this coastal strategy game that's all about taking your time - the ocean basically runs the show, and everything you do changes how your little dock community grows.
Chart Your BayAbout
We made North Bay for folks who'd rather plan things out than just button-mash their way through. Set along a fictional stretch of Pacific Northwest coastline, the game rewards patience, planning, and a genuine fondness for the smell of salt air — even imagined. Every time you start over, you get a completely different bay - different layout, different weather patterns, the whole nine yards.
How It Works
Claim Your Cove
Choose your starting inlet from a procedurally generated coastline map — each with different resource access, dock space, and exposure to weather.
Work the Tides
Low tide opens the flats for harvesting; high tide brings merchant ships and trade opportunities — your schedule is the sea's schedule.
Weather Every Season
Expand, stockpile, and reinforce before the autumn storms roll in — then rebuild smarter when they pass.
Features
Tide-Locked Gameplay
Everything happens based on the tides - you can either time your play sessions around them, or just let things sit there until you're ready. No rush.
Hand-Drawn Bay Maps
All the coastline stuff is hand-painted with watercolors and ink - each bay ends up looking totally unique.
Captain Negotiations
The ship captains all have their own personalities and weird habits - treat them right and they'll keep coming back, but if you're too pushy about prices, they might just sail on by next time.
Storm Season Events
The storms aren't there to screw you over - they're more like story moments that put your planning to the test and give you ideas for what to build next.
The tide waits for no one.
Early access is open — stake your claim on the bay before the season turns.
