A rating on itch.io or F95zone helps new players find the game.

Tell me the in-game day, where you were, and attach traceback.txt if Ren'Py made one.

A note from me
Saltmere's art is made with AI tools. The story, the characters and the writing are mine. I've wanted to make a sandbox Ren'Py game for a long time, and this is it.
Because the art is AI-made, Saltmere will always be free: every version, the whole game, for everyone on release day. If you enjoy it and want to help me keep going, you can support it on Patreon or SubscribeStar. It's optional, and I'm grateful for every bit of it.
