About the Game

Join Beebz and her team on an exploratory voyage, delving into personal growth, as they sail across the expansive seas of Ragnar’s Isle.

Traverse vast oceans, investigating every far-off structure while unveiling secret corners using your versatile, dynamic movement options. Overcome obstacles or discover concealed treasures to amass talismans that alter and sometimes augment your skills, or spice up your look with a multitude of findable outfits!

Additionally, remember that you’re never navigating this path on your own. Engage in friendly competition with fellow travelers by besting their virtual selves (ghosts) or race times, or leave your mark by spray-painting inspirational messages as graffiti for all to see!

Ready for an adventure to unveil the enigmatic mysteries hidden within this realm, or shall I, Beebz, crumble under its unknown challenges… The path ahead is shrouded in uncertainty, only exploration will reveal the truth!
