About this game
Cast out as a nobi with nothing to your name, each day in Joseon begins with survival.
Find your own food and shelter, gather resources, build a home and a base, and continue hunting, crafting, fighting, and exploring with up to 8 players.
There is no single life laid out for you.
Gather materials from the wilds, find a place to settle, and craft what you need one piece at a time. Hunting, fishing, farming, logging, and mining all become part of the foundation you need to endure and move forward in Joseon.
Roam Joseon with your friends.
Up to 8 players can share the same world, gather resources, raise buildings, prepare equipment, and continue exploring and fighting together. Divide up gathering, crafting, building, and combat preparation as you grow the foundation for your life in Joseon.
A small shelter can become the center of your life.
Build with hanok-style structures and furniture, store your resources, and shape a space for crafting and daily living. Even the humblest beginning can become a place to endure in Joseon.
Food is not the only thing waiting on the road.
Bandits, tigers, and hostile factions may stand in your way. A small fight may end quickly, but some encounters can grow into larger battles with many people caught in the chaos.
Meet companions, and your options begin to grow.
Across Joseon, certain ruins and special locations are home to unique companions with their own personalities. They can travel and fight with you, and also help with resource work. In castles, you can meet dogs and cats, while horses can be tamed and used for travel.
Explore towns, castles, natural regions, and historic sites across Joseon.
Discover over a hundred ruins and notable locations, follow quests, or earn money by trading local specialties and goods.
Equip over 200 pieces of clothing and gear.
From everyday clothes to official robes, armor, hwan-do swords, bows, spears, matchlocks, and tools, collect and equip a wide range of Joseon-era gear as you make your own way through the world.
Starting from a low status does not mean you must remain there forever.
You can dream of earning your freedom, distinguish yourself through your deeds, and rise to official office. Beyond that, the path may even lead you to Hanyang and the central council.
You begin with nothing, but there is much to build.
Survive each hungry day, find a place to stay and people to stand beside you, and make a place for yourself in Joseon.
