1 Alone with the Shipwrecks
by Somewhere with Stories
Alone with the Shipwrecks is a Alone Among the Stars hack about finding items at the bottom of the sea in the remains of old ships! What kind of a person you are doesn’t impact gameplay, so you can be a diver, mermaid, in a bathysphere, or whatever!
Each round you search through a single ship and discover what kind of item, where it was, and if there are any more treasures to find before moving onto the next ship.

2 Ebb Tide
by Stephen Kohler
Ebb Tide is a Wretched & Alone game about waking up on a cruise ship to find everyone, including the crew, dead. Weird symbols are painted on the walls, strange noises come from all around, and you know something down here is with you. You play until you draw 3 kings, your tower falls, or maybe, just maybe, you find all 4 kings and banish that thing down here with you.

3 Lost at Sea
by Hand of Fate
Lost at Sea is a tarot based game about a ship trying to find land in a vast and unforgiving ocean. You have until 4 setbacks or 5 successes to end your voyage. This game doesn’t have any concrete prompts, instead you are given the interpretation of the tarot cards, both the Suits and the Rank, to choose what happens. The game provides a guide on how to interpret the tarot crards and rank.
