The game never sold itself on being a Messenger prequel, and for good reason I think it got more people to play Sea of Stars than they might have. Its a big reason why I documented these connections. Especially with the DLC potentially following up on aspects from the Messenger ARG that happened a few years back.
Jul 1, 2020 · Indie hit The Messenger, is getting an RPG prequel called Sea of Stars, which will feature elements from retro classics with modern twists. Two years ago, Canadian indie developer Sabotage Studio released its first game, The Messenger, a retro-style platformer with elements from popular 16-bit era games.

Sea of Stars isn’t Sabotage Studio’s first rodeo into video game development. Back in 2018, they debuted with a Metroidvania platformer called The Messenger. It tells the story of a ninja, appointed as “The Messenger,” who is tasked to travel east and deliver a scroll to the top of a mountain. If you’ve played Sea of Stars (and vice versa), then you won’t be able to help but nod at certain environments because of their familiarity with the game you played first. Why is that?

An excerpt from the 'Tale of Two Alchemists' (Artifact story)
Screenshot by Pro Game Guides Essentially, the Sabotage extended universe is created with the story of The Immortal Alchemist (Resh'an) and The Fleshmancer (Aephorul) as its core. After finding the Elixir of Life, they spent centuries nurturing the world into a thriving society. However, Aephorul soon became jealous of the creatures who lived a fruitful non immortal life. He dived into the darker sides of alchemy, creating heinous experiments, and grew spiteful of the non immortals. Eventually, he was nicknamed The Fleshmancer for unleashing monstrous creatures into the world. Resh'an did his best to fight Aephorul down but was unsuccessful. In fact, it only created more strife as two beings with godlike powers collided. Related: How is Sea of Stars’ Switch Performance? After years, Resh'an discovered that Aephorul’s creations were weak to Lunar and Solar magic, a power that was only bestowed to those born during the Solstices. He then trained these children to be full-fledged warriors and tasked them to rid the world of Aephorul’s creations. It’s this fate that Erlina and Brugaves resented if you’re curious. However, Aephorul was smart. He created the Dwellers—beings that were impervious to Lunar and Solar magic except during a total eclipse. The Dwellers also needed local life to live, destroying even more places in their wake. If left unstopped, they would evolve into World Eaters. The Solstice Warriors hunted every last Dweller in hopes that this would never happen.
The Messenger references in Sea of Stars
Screenshot by Pro Game Guides Resh'an wasn’t comfortable in this stalemate, as he knew Aephorul would only cook up something much worse. As such, he split the world into countless timelines and parallel words—two of which happen to be the setting both Sea of Stars and The Messenger played out in. These worlds usually have some similarities! For these two games, you’ll likely find your “references” on Mesa Island. All worlds have their Solstice Warriors. Dwellers would come if Aephorul decides to visit it. Of course, there is also a small chance that The Messenger is a Sea of Stars sequel, in the sense that they both happened in the same world. But it's too hard to tell at this point! The DLC, which I'll touch on later, could be the link we're missing.

Aephorul used the opportunity to unleash destruction onto many places while Resh'an continued to do his research on how Aephorul could be stopped.
Sea of Stars does have a planned DLC that plans to expound on its story. Called Throes of the Watchmaker, the only thing we know so far is that the Watchmaker will be its main character. The devs would also like to “provide additional insight on the narrative overarching all of [their] games” through this DLC, implying that we’ll be seeing a bigger bridge between Sea of Stars and The Messenger.
Moreover, Clockwork Castle, where the Watchmaker lives, is located on Mesa Island, near the bamboo groves, and beside a mountain. Isn't it such an interesting focus point for a Sea of Stars DLC? It practically has "The Messenger" written all over it!
