SEASCAPE is a tantalizing adventure into a unique world whose location envelopes it with magic mysteries. Objects as well as entities allow testing beyond the usual assumed abilities. Governments form, leaders move to the forefront, survival skills are tested, collegiality is pressed and more importantly, values shape actions. Trust, respect, freedom and demeanor are both defined and exalted when plausible by both peers and by foes.
