The Dicetower did a Top 10 Games that Murdered other Games (https://youtu.be/rhfD3Rp5lNg). They answered the question, “what modern game replaces an old classic, because they deliver a similar, yet superior experience?” That is to say, they’d never play the old game again, because of the existence of some newer, better game.
It has been 5 years since SeaFall came out, so it feels like enough time has passed to ask, is there a newer game that replaces/murders SeaFall? If so what is it and why?
Thanks!

Hello @bitfrosting, been a while! You've certainly set the stage for a bunch of responses like: "Nothing murdered this game, it murdered itself", or "the game was dead on arrival and didn't need to be murdered", or "the game is still alive murdering all who play it", yadayadayada. I'm a big fan so I don't believe in any of those responses, just maybe cutting some off before they happen.
My answer to your question is ... ? A legacy game in the age of sail, is there anything else out there that is even remotely close to what Seafall offered? I'd love to see Seafall 2 murder Seafall. But, I'm not sure if there is enough interest and given what what was involved to make Seafall 1, it would have to be an enormous undertaking, without the promise of financial reward commensurate with the effort to make the game. If I were independently wealthy, I would take a crack myself. But I'm not, so I can't.
I know I didn't answer your question, but I don't know of one. If Chronicles 1: Origins ever gets finished and released, that might be broad enough in scope to eclipse Seafall, but that is the best I can offer. Hopefully, someone has a better answer than mine, because it there is a game that can murder Seafall, I'm on it.
