Core Gameplay & Progression

Practice fighting large groups of monsters in training rooms where you can change how often they appear and how tough they are, helping you improve your skills. Hunt down special, powerful monsters to earn lasting upgrades for your character, and combine these upgrades to create unique and effective builds for any challenge. As you play, unlock new skills, abilities, and better equipment to make your character even stronger.

Automation & Building

Design and build machines to help you in battle – you can use them to move enemies around or even create automatic defenses against monsters. You can also set up training rooms that keep running on their own, even when you’re not there. Finally, construct useful structures like platforms, furnaces, and storage containers to expand your world.

World Structure

The game features two distinct worlds: a vast, open overworld where you can freely explore, prepare for challenges, and undertake quests, and a tightly connected underworld designed like a Metroidvania. Players can unlock fast travel between towns by purchasing homes in the overworld.

Customization & Systems

Explore the game as the Psychic, a versatile class that uses a yoyo as its main weapon – with more classes on the way! You can also raise a pet to fight with you and gather resources, leveling it up by feeding it. Travel the vast open world faster by riding mounts. Plus, fully customize your character’s look with different equipment and cosmetic items. The game features a dynamic day/night cycle and offers complete controller support, including compatibility with the Steam Deck.

Early Access includes:

This game features two major towns and explores one full overworld region, along with a portion of another. Players will delve into a fully connected underworld area and face five challenging boss battles, plus four elite monsters. Character progression includes twelve enhancements, eleven skills/abilities, and the ability to craft twenty-nine different structures. Players can also acquire a combat pet, a mount, and two homes.
