About the game:

Chase after Moby Dick, and live through the Golden Age of American whaling in this seafaring strategy game. Set sail around the world, manage your ship and crew, and live Ishmael's story, the sole survivor of the Pequod, a few years after the events narrated by Herman Melville in his masterpiece.

Set sail around the world, visit cities, and increase your prestige by hunting whales, landing jobs, and searching for new adventures. Develop your character in true RPG fashion, by increasing your stats, choosing your reactions, and developing your seafaring skills.

The Beta is Steam-only right now, if you want a copy you can pick it up from Humble Store or go direct to Steam. It's also on GOG, so hopefully the Linux version will be on there when it's ready.
