The Codex is now online — searchable, and straight from the game

The Codex is now online


Captains — the ship's library has come ashore.The Codex you open in game now lives on the website too, at piratetwistgame.com/codex. 147 entries across nine sections, illustrated with the game's own graphics, and searchable — so "what does Knighthead Bracing actually do" is a five-second question instead of a mid-run tab-out.

📖 What's in it

  • Modules — all 17, split by what they're FOR, with the real stat line: damage, reload, speed, HP.

  • Crew — the six roles and what each hand gives per tier, plus the full hire catalog: 69 hands, grouped by role, each with the milestone that unlocks it. The in-game Codex lists only the Uncommons and Rares. This is all of them.

  • Enemies — the fleet you meet, and the six boss captains named with their hull, damage, tactics odds, gun classes, ammo ladder, ram kit and hull-by-map. In game they're one line saying "each has a distinct ship and quirk." Here they have their portraits, their own painted ships, and their numbers.

  • Captains — all five, their passives, and the signature crew that sails with each.

  • Skills — three branches, every node, what each stage grants and what it takes to open.

  • Combat & Encounters — gears, broadside arc, raking, shot types, the wind, and every node an expedition can drop you into.

  • Screens — every port screen laid out and labelled region by region, with what each panel costs.

⚙️ It follows the game

None of it is transcribed by hand. The pages are generated from the build — the same text, stats and art the in-game Codex shows — so when a module gets rebalanced or a new hand joins the roster, the wiki follows. If the page and the game ever disagree, that's a bug, and we want to hear about it.

🔍 Two things worth knowing

  • Every entry is deep-linkable — send a crewmate straight to a module or a captain instead of "scroll down a bit."

  • Press / anywhere on the page to jump to search, the way a wiki should.

Community9 Sep 2026A permanent price cut to $4.67, and a thank you to everyone who paid morePirate Twist is now $4.67, permanently ⚓ Not a sale, not a weekend thing. This is the new base price for the rest of Early Access, and it comes with a thank you and a small apology. 💰 Why $4.67 · I had settled on $4.99. Then I asked my kid, who has watched this game get built at the kitchen table for a year, what the number should be. The answer was $4.67 , you probably know why the 67.. kids…Game update4 Sep 2026Update v1.4.3: the sea has weather, and rakes hit the end you aimed atEarly Access Update v1.4.3 ⚓ Two updates went out quietly last month. v1.4.1 and v1.4.2 were both live within days of each other and neither got a post, because at the time they read like housekeeping. Looking at them next to what landed this week, they do not. So all three come ashore here, and if your last voyage was v1.4.0 there is a fair amount below you have not seen. 🌥️ The sky moves now…Major update21 Aug 2026Update v1.4.0 — six captains, six ships, and a tutorial that waits for youEarly Access Update v1.4.0 ⚓ Three updates have been riding at anchor waiting on one another. Enough of that — they all come ashore today. A word on why they queued up. Pirate Twist is made by one person: me, in the evenings, around a wife and two kids who can now identify a cannon reload by ear through a closed door. So the work lands in waves rather than a steady drip. The playtest crew has b…
