Incredible pirate indie Windrose is setting sail next week

The pirate game to beat all pirate games, Windrose, is coming out into early access a lot sooner than I had anticipated, allowing us to sail the high seas as of April 14. That means we’re just a few days away from getting stranded on islands, discovering strange creatures, looting, shooting, and pirating our way across the West Indies.

That was confirmed by the developers themselves in a new early access trailer on YouTube. The game will finally let us go beyond the limited demo, even if it was a massive demo indeed, letting us truly embrace the pirate within. I loved what the demo had to show, and it seems Windrose‘s early access program is going to be just as surprisingly packed with content as its free-to-play limited version was.

Compared to the demo, it seems the graphics were improved, there are a lot more outfits to wear, enemies to chop down or shoot at, and buildings to erect above azure shores. Every aspect of the game seems bigger and better, which is incredible considering it’s been just a blink since we first encountered the demo that itself saw the game wishlisted by over a million people.

April 14 falls next Tuesday, and while it is a weekday, you’d better get your crew and first mate, as the sea never rests and everlasting winds blow toward the West, eagerly awaiting to hit your board and sails to take you into new adventures.

And the music is awesome, too, I just hope we’ll get to hear a lot more of it by the time the early access launches (or within the game itself). Either way, time to put Ye Banished Privateers on 24/7 repeat until the game comes out.

Your journey from Finland to Russia in Road to Vostok doesn’t need to be a lonely march, and that can be ensured by finding a cat on the fourth day of your adventure. If you manage to survive the first three days, you’ll be tasked with finding a missing cat.

Let’s look at how you can rescue it and add it as your beloved companion.

How to complete the Missing Cat event in Road to Vostok

You have to survive the first three days, and you will be able to accept the quest. The cat can be found in the Outpost area, but for that, you’ll need to prepare carefully. The quest requires you to travel from the Village to the School, and then to the Outpost, and then again return via the same route. Since you’ll lose hydration and energy at all levels, you’ll need water and food.

Stick to the right side of the map, go past the lake, and you’ll find a road. Stick to the road, head right, and you’ll find the Transfer sign that takes you to the School area. Once you’re at the School, walk near the cover that will lead you to the bridge. This is a straight route, but there will be enemies around.

Reach the end of the bridge, and you’ll reach the Outpost area. The Outpost is extremely dangerous since it’s an open area, and you can get shot. There are three bunkers at this location: the first one is immediately on the right of the spawn point. The second one will be to the left of the Red Farmhouse. Finally, the third one is to the right of the Red Farmhouse.

Once again, keep to your right, and you’ll come across a small hill. There’s an entrance to an underground bunker that will lead you to the cat. Go inside a room on your left, and you’ll find a small well (look for the entrance hidden by wooden planks). You’ll find the black cat in a cardboard box. Interact with the well to rescue the cat.

The exact location of the cat could differ on your save. It can spawn in any of the three bunkers at the Outpost location. Once you rescue the cat, head back via the same route that you came from. Don’t die along the way, as you’ll need to restart the entire process.
