Dead men tell no tales. The living only scream. A new era of survival horror arrives with Black Tides: Draga's Wake . Step into the boots of Draga, a hardened smuggler and pirate first mate whose ultimate heist has gone catastrophically wrong. Trapped aboard the Ormora —a decaying 1900s steamship icelocked in unpredictable waters—you must navigate a labyrinth of iron to find your missing crew while fighting a losing battle against the ritualistic, cosmic horrors that have breached our reality. Nightmare of Flesh and Steel Step into an oppressive landscape dominated by riveted steel, hiss-venting steam pipes, and failing turn-of-the-century machinery. The Ormora isn't just a backdrop—it's a claustrophobic, labyrinthine character in itself, built to disorient you and harbor ritualistic, cosmic horrors that have manifested within the ship's flooded lower decks. DRAGA BOLIVAR A hardened sailor and career thief who has spent his life following Caleb's orders without question — until the Ormora forces him to question everything. Draga is not a hero. He is a survivor, a loyalist, and a man whose moral code was built for a simpler world. As the ship's horrors consume his crew one by one and an ancient god takes root in his body, Draga must choose between the man he was and the something terrifying he is becoming. Izzy Koleva A former cultist who escaped the Children of Gaia's grip — but not its influence. Izzy knows the rituals, the doctrine, and the lies. Skilled in alchemy, she is one of the few people alive who truly understands what the cult is trying to do, and what it will cost if they succeed. Draga doesn't trust her. He may not have a choice. VISCERAL, HIGH-STAKES BRAWLER COMBAT Survival isn't just about running away; it's about fighting back with everything you have. Engage in brutal, close-quarters combat against twisted, mutated entities. Every strike has weight, every impact is visceral, and every mistake is costly.
