Seaworks: Trap Season

The fax machine spits out another bounty. The weather is turning. Your boat needs work. And somewhere out there, beneath the cold northern water, your traps are waiting.
Seaworks: Trap Season is a hands-on crab fishing life sim set on the remote pacific northwest in the 1990s. Start small, earn your fishing license, take jobs, work the waters and build a life around your boat, your cabin and the sea.

Head out when the conditions are right, place your crab traps and return later to haul in your catch and sort it. Back on land, sell them fresh or process them for better profit. Every trip earns you money, experience and the next step toward a better setup.

But the sea does not wait for you. Weather changes the water. Waves affect your trips. Your stamina is limited, and your boat needs care. Barnacles slow you down and burn more fuel. Repairs, maintenance and smart timing matter just as much as a full trap.

Between jobs, improve your home, customize your boat, repair useful island structures and prepare for the next season. With a randomized world, shifting conditions and different bounties, every run brings a new route through island life.
This is not a story about getting rich overnight. It is about work, weather, routine and the small satisfaction of doing things right.
Work the trap season
Accept fishing bounties, earn your license and build your routine around crab traps, weather windows and the next faxed job.
Fish, sort and sell
Set traps, haul in your catch and sort your crabs by hand. Sell them fresh or process them to earn more from a good day’s work.
Maintain your boat
Your boat is your most important tool. Repair it, keep the hull clean, manage fuel and customize its look with your own colors.
Watch the weather
Changing weather affects the sea, the waves and your plans. Choose when to head out, when to wait and when to make it back before conditions get worse.
Build your island life
Improve your small cabins around the world, repair structures like lighthouses and turn a rough island setup into a place that works.
New islands, new seasons
A randomized world keeps each playthrough fresh, with different routes, jobs and challenges waiting across the water.

Make a living where the sea makes the rules.
