In the first Uncharted Waters game, it was the 15th century and the New World was discovered. Now in New Horizons, it is the early 16th century and sea trade and exploration has blossomed. Choosing any one of six adventurers (scenerios) you'll be set on a quest of sailing, seamanship and exploration. Keeping the crew fed and financed while bringing back exotic silk and spices to sell for even greater profit. This trading simulation goes to recreate the feel and the peril of the sailing era.

The six characters of the game also have their own distinctive plot and storyline. In no particular order...

His father wants to make him a man and does so the best way he knows how, by sailing. Young Joao is tasked with learning the skills of the sailor (he is the only character who starts at level 1), of helping a scholar reach the far east and of discovering the secret of Atlantis.
