What is Pepe Century?
Pepe Century is a 3D multiplayer sailing and trading game that you play straight from your web browser. You are a captain in an age of sail: buy cargo where it is cheap, carry it across a living, rotating globe and sell it where it is scarce, all in a world shared with every other player online.
Weather the storms, outgun rival ships in naval battles, and step ashore in bustling port cities to fight monsters, cast spells, fell trees, mine ore and craft your own gear. Grow a humble starter boat into a fleet of warships and merchantmen, join a clan and rule a city of your own. No download, no install — just sign up above and set sail.
