NOSTOS

A co-op voyage home from Troy

NOSTOS

νόστος — the homecoming

Sail home from Troy — together, and only just.

A real-time co-op game for two to five friends. Crew a Greek ship across a mythic sea that is born anew for every voyage — and try to get everyone home.

Free · Windows 10 & 11 · 2–5 players

A Greek galley painted in the black-figure style: square cream sail, curled stern and a painted eye on the bow, riding curling waves inside a meander border.

The voyage

The war is over. Getting home is the hard part.

“We made it — together, and only just.”

Ten years at Troy, and now the long way back to Ithaca. You and your friends crew one Greek ship across a sea that is generated anew every voyage: islands, ruins, storms and things that were old when the gods were young.

The islands are full of strange and wonderful loot, and the more dangerous the creature guarding it, the better the treasure. The largest monsters are so huge and frightening that your crew will have to work together, trick them — or flee.

And between the storms, everyone gathers around the brazier on deck, grills fish and retells the time the Cyclops threw someone into the sea.

What waits on the wine-dark sea

Built for an evening with friends

  • A crew of two to five

    Raise the sail, pull the oars, hold the tiller, bail the hold. Nothing important gets done well alone — the ship, the treasure and the monsters all need several hands.

  • A mythic sea, made anew

    Every voyage charts a fresh sea of islands, ruins, storms and secrets. Five seas lie between Troy and Ithaca, and no two crossings are the same.

  • Monsters you trick or flee

    The beasts of myth are huge, ancient and never cartoonish. Fight what you can. Outwit the rest — or turn the ship and row for your lives.

  • The Epic of your voyage

    The game writes your voyage as an epic poem — heroic rescues and ridiculous deaths alike — to read aloud at the brazier and share with a link.
