Limited information is currently available about the additional adventure, Throes of The Watchmaker, but it is known that the adventure will involve Sea of Stars characters assisting the Watchmaker, a genius inventor encountered by players at the Clockwork Castle during the main adventure. According to Sabotage Studio, players can expect a full side adventure to the main campaign of Sea of Stars, offering additional insight into the narrative.
