Indie dev Surprised Man created its gameThe Wageras part of the 72-hourLudum Daregame jam in December, and has since been expanding on it for an official release.
It’s an exploration game in which you explore islands in the open sea with a ship, which translates some of the magic thatColonizationused to give you at the start of every game. It also has some great — and very British — writing.

As you explore islands, you go on text-based adventures while managing your supplies. It’s great fun and can easily eat away hours of your time once you get into it.
