Early playtest. Expect rough edges, and tell us what breaks.

One world, three looks

Pick pixel, low-poly or anime. Everyone plays in the same world, so a mixed party looks like a party, not a glitch.

Hunt hard, live easy

Fights with weight, chores with calm, and a plaza full of people in between.

Hunts with weight

Monsters telegraph, attacks commit, and weak points are worth climbing for. Bring friends, or call up a party when you're on your own.

Meet up in Start Plaza

Portals to the Hunting Grounds, your Home Farm and community worlds, with Pip's Produce on the corner for whatever you grew.

Cozy life that matters

Farmers grow the turnips that keep hunters alive. Water your plot, sell to Pip, catch a fish. Nothing nags you. After a hunt, bring the whole party home to your campfire.

Looking good is the endgame

Cosmetics come from play, never from a store, and every one works in every style.

Who you'll be

Human, elf, zombie, rabbit or dog, in whatever colors you like.

What's new

Updates land most days, and the game updates itself when you open it.

  1. Version 0.21.0

    Build with blocks on your farm

    • Press B on your Home Farm to build. Cubes, slabs, ramps, quarter blocks, pillars and arches in wood, stone, grass, glass, cloth and glow, in any colour.
    • Click places a block and right-click takes one away. R turns it, Z undoes, 1–6 pick the shape, Q the material and C the colour. Middle-click copies a block you like.
    • Blocks draw in your own style, like your crops: pixel, low-poly or anime.
    • Walk up slabs like stairs, run up ramps, jump onto cubes, and sit (F4) on anything about bench height.
    • Your build saves itself and is there when you come back. It's yours alone for now: friends who come over don't see it yet.
  2. Version 0.20.5

    Four low-poly characters, remade

    • Both low-poly Zombies, a Human and a Wood Elf are remade from the low-poly concept art: big flat facets, crisp T-shirt hems and sleeves, cuffed jeans and chunky sneakers, in your own colours.
    • They move better too: sleeves stay whole when they wave, and shoes stay on when they run.
  3. Version 0.20.4

    Your party comes back with you

    • Head back to Start Plaza after a hunt and your party is still together: no more inviting everyone again before the next one.
