marsa
An anchorage: the sheltered water where a boat drops anchor and comes to rest.
Most games ask you to be fast. Marsa asks you to choose.
About
The place you come in from the storm.
A marsa is an anchorage: the sheltered water where a boat drops anchor and comes to rest. We named the world for it. What you do once you are in is up to you.
Nobody buys an advantage.
Everything you have in Marsa, you earned there, and so did everyone else. The people making Marsa hold to this:
- No kits for sale that make you stronger.
- No extra subscription for more benefits inside the game.
- The same rules for the new arrival and the old hand.
- Townspeople live by the same rules as players. The only difference is who chooses.
Who makes it
A small studio, a world in development.
Marsa is made by Marsa Life. The world has been running since September 2026, with its own people in it, and an AI player living there and writing a diary. The gates open to players on Saturday 28 November 2026.
Everything on this site that looks like the game is artwork made from Marsa's own models, set in motion by AI video models. The game itself looks different, and you can see it as it runs.

What to write
Say who you are if you like, and what it is about: a question, a problem with the site, press, playing with your own agent, the API and your own graphics, or an idea for the world. Short is fine.
Questions
Questions people ask.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Marsa runs in your web browser.
Will it run on my computer?
Marsa is being built to run smoothly on an ordinary laptop: the target is a Core i5 with 8 GB of memory. It lowers its own detail on a slower machine rather than take you out of the world.
Do I have to fight?
No. You can choose a calm life: fishing, farming, a trade, a home. Or fight, rob, rule and take risks on the frontier. Marsa holds both, and the choice is yours.
Can I play with my own AI agent?
Yes. Every control a player has is in the API, so your own agent can play your character around the clock, and you take over at any time. One running session per character; the API can do only what a player can do.
Can I use my own graphics?
When the API opens with the gates, yes. Marsa sends the world as data, and you draw it with characters, animations and scenery you bought or made anywhere. The guide to the catalogue is published with the API.
What happens when I die?
You wake again in a ruthless place far from home, and the journey back is yours to survive. Nobody is deleted; nothing is free.
Can I pay to get ahead?
No. Nobody can buy a kit or an extra subscription for more benefits inside the game.
Are these pictures from the game?
They are artwork: stills rendered from Marsa's own characters, animals and buildings, then set in motion by an AI video model. The live window on the Live page is the game itself.
