Playable Demo Available Now for Nokai, an Open-World Ocean Survival Coop Adventure

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland - Pretty Potato Games has released a playable demo for Nokai, an open-world ocean survival adventure developed by Icelandic solo developer Hrafnkell "Keli" Þrastarson.

  In Nokai, players sail north through a dangerous ocean world, building camps, upgrading their ship, fighting strange creatures, and uncovering the truth behind a dying world.  

The demo offers an early look at Nokai's core gameplay loop, featuring exploration, combat, ship progression, and environmental storytelling.

Key Features

• Play solo or with friends in online co-op for up to 5 players 

• Explore handcrafted islands filled with secrets, resources, and dangers

• Build camps to establish footholds across the world
• Upgrade and customize your ship for the journey north
• Fight unique enemies and creatures across diverse regions
• Uncover the mystery behind a rotting world

Development of Nokai began in 2021 and is supported by a Rannís innovation grant in Iceland. The game is planned to participate in Steam Next Fest October 2026.

Nokai is currently in development for PC and is available to wishlist on Steam. The playable demo is available now.

"I wanted to make something that feels like the weirdest camping trip you've ever been on with your friends, with something in the water that is constantly watching and pushing you or your group to keep moving through the world"
— Hrafnkell "Keli" Þrastarson, Founder, Pretty Potato Games 
Unlike traditional survival games, Nokai focuses on forward momentum and exploration, encouraging players to push deeper into the world rather than settle permanently in one location. 
The player's main vehicle requires constant repairs and upgrades, making camps an essential part of the journey as players gather resources, recover, and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.
