Cover art for the Maze AI scenario Kraken's Wake

“Your cursed ring drags storms behind your ship, and the only relic that can break its hold is guarded by the kraken your father's crew still worships.”

The premise

Sail into a moonlit cove where rival pirates, a cursed ring, and a living sea legend all want a claim on your soul. The drowned shrine beneath Kraken's Wake may hold the relic that breaks your storm curse — if the crew survives long enough to reach it.

Outwit Captain Maera Flint, read the kraken's terrible signs, and choose whether to escape the curse or seize the tempest power for yourself.

Who you are

You were once the favored heir of a feared pirate lord until his cursed ring chose you and the fleet blamed you for every unnatural storm that followed. Exiled with a loyal but exhausted crew, you now understand enough of the ring's power to use it briefly, but not enough to control what answers from the deep.

Your objective

Reach the drowned shrine beneath Kraken's Wake, survive or bargain with the kraken, and claim the tempest relic before rival pirates turn the cove into a killing ground.

The kind of choices you'll face

A few illustrative examples — in play, choices are written for the exact situation you're in:

  • Hold up the cursed ring and try to read what the kraken wants before anyone fires.
  • Rally the crew, cut the anchor, and race the rival sloop toward the shrine entrance.
  • Signal false surrender to lure Maera Flint's ship between you and the rising tentacle.

And when none of the options say what you actually want to do, write your own action — the story responds to it just the same.
