Vilnius, Lithuania — January 5th, 2021.
The Lithuania-based video game publisher Nordcurrent and American indie games developer Max Mraz today announced that their Zelda-like pixel-art ARPG “Ocean’s Heart” is coming to PC via Steam on January 21st, 2021.

Ocean’s Heart is a charming pixel-art action RPG set in a spirited world, brimming with secrets, magic, and perilous affairs. As Tilia, a young girl whose father and best friend have been kidnapped by the ruthless pirate Blackbeard, you must set off on a treacherous journey through a vast and dangerous wilderness to rescue him, unraveling a web of pirate conspiracies on the way.

Gather items along your journey to craft potions as well as expand and upgrade your ever-growing arsenal of weapons, constantly increasing your skills to fight boss adversaries and survive deadly dungeons.

“Ocean’s Heart borrows inspiration from the likes of Zelda, Hollow Knight, The Witcher, and even Dark Souls, to create an exciting take on the action-adventure RPG genre,” said Artūras Surgutanovas, Head of Marketing from Nordcurrent.
