07 Far: Lone Sails | It's raining, it's pouring, the... of FAK
2Welcome to my inaugural "Indy Darlings" series. This series will focus on independently developed games that have taken advantage of the freedom that comes from not being a larger studio. These games have that certain flare that makes them different from any experience you'll find playing a "AAA" title.

What once was the bottom of an ocean, has turned into a graveyard for submarines and super tankers. Once bustling island settlements have decayed into hilltop ruins. What secrets do they hold? And more importantly… is there any salvage to be found?!
