It's pretty much a given that if you fly through the Bermuda Triangle, bad things are going to happen. In Lost Sea, getting lost is just the start of your ordeal. After your plane crashes in the Triangle and you're washed ashore an island, you must build a ship to escape. But getting back to civilization isn't as easy as sailing into the sunset. That nearby island with the ominous swirling vortex above it surely must be a part of your route home.

The action/strategy title takes place in a procedurally generated archipelago where you must gather resources to survive and then to build a ship.

Balancing short term survival with your long-term aims is the key to the game, and there are tradeoffs in everything you do. For instance, keeping up your health is important in the near term, but saving resources for powerful upgrades could make your life a lot easier on the whole.

There is permadeath for your crew, which is another concern, and the islands are filled with mysterious structures, dangerous animals, and powerful relics. There are even dinosaurs!

Developer Eastasiasoft is targeting a release on the PlayStation 4 in 2015, and it hasn't ruled out a Vita version, although nothing has been announced yet.
