All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

It's finally time! I hope you have all your ducks in a row. I hope you have all your affairs in order. Because the Choppy Waters Demo is just around the corner!


The demo will be available to play starting May 4, 2026!


What can you expect?

In the demo, you’ll get your first taste of Choppy Waters:

  • Play through the game’s first region

  • Craft your own sushi cards using collected ingredients

  • Experiment with different builds and strategies

  • Take on a variety of enemies and encounters

  • Face off against two possible bosses

Of course, the full game will expand on all of this with more regions, more systems, and lots more CONTENT!


A Quick Reminder

Choppy Waters is a deckbuilding roguelite where you create your own cards each run. Every ingredient you pick up changes how your deck plays, and every run is a chance to try something new.


Before It Goes Live

If you haven’t already, make sure to wishlist the game. As a solo developer, it really helps me a lot and ensures you don’t miss the release.


See you again real soon!
