About this game
⚔️ Reclaim. Rebuild. Survive.
Your village was completely destroyed by an evil warlord, leaving your people scattered and starving. As one of the survivors, you must venture out into a hostile wilderness on dangerous Quests to hunt down the one responsible, gather vital resources, and rebuild your home from the rubble.
🗺️ Procedural Quests & The Night Clock
Time is your enemy. Embark on quests into procedurally generated forests, toxic swamps, and dangerous caves to gather resources, XP and knowledge points to unlock new recipes.
Gather Fast: Move quickly to secure loot and complete your objectives.
The Night Clock: Staying too long brings darkness. Relentless hordes of undead start hunting you until you leave the area and setup a safe camp.
🎒 Grid-Based Inventory
Survival requires brutal choices. Space is limited, and you can only carry what fits.
Grid Management: Every character features an individual, grid-based inventory. You must strategically organize your loot, balancing vital weapons and food against raw crafting materials.
Expand Your Haul: Craft backpacks to increase your personal carrying capacity, or construct heavy transport carts and utilize pack animals to haul massive resource loads back from deep wilderness runs.
⛺ Restore your Permanent Village
Your village is your ultimate lifeline and survival base. Bring resources safely back from your quests to rebuild your home.
Agriculture & Livestock: Construct barns to domesticate farm animals and plant agricultural crops.
Survival Kitchen: Cook meals to prevent hunger debuffs and prepare your survivors for the next deadly quest.
The Workshop: Utilize your gathered materials to craft new gear, repair broken equipment, and upgrade your items for tougher biomes.
🛡️ Tactical Stamina Combat & Injury System
Combat in the wild requires precise execution. Mindless button-mashing will get you killed.
Stamina & Dodging: Every attack and dodge consumes your stamina bar. Balance your aggression and recover your stamina, or find yourself defenseless.
Scars & Permadeath: Getting knocked out on a quest inflicts permanent injuries. Accumulate too many battle scars, and your character faces permanent death.
👥 Unique RPG Survivors & Roster Building
Manage a roster of characters, each with their own genetic makeup.
Positive & Negative Traits: Every survivor spawns with pros and cons. Choose who to risk on dangerous quests wisely. Keep them alive to level them up and unlock new traits.
Character Swapping: Take direct control or issue commands to have companions mine, forage, and guard while you explore and fight hostile creatures.

Patch NotesOfficial
Demo Update - Companion dodge & item optimizations
I have uploaded a new demo build.There was one major change that touches all items:I have removed physics bodies and effectors from all items, they were used to prevent them from clumping in the exact same spot, but it did degrade performance a lot if you dropped a ton of items.This change should make the game run a lot smoother if you somehow end up with 1000 items dropped in the same spot 😄Next thing is a new feature that lets your party members dodge attacks, it might be too good at the moment and I'm planning on making it scale with the characters xp/level.Last thing is the dialog ui. I added a little bit of color coding so you can tell which option ends the dialogue. This is more for people that have already played through it and just want to quickly click through the options.Thank you for playing and please report any issues you find!Read full article on Community Announcements (Barrier)Patch NotesOfficial

✨ I just added control rebinding menu to the demo build 1.0.30!If you test it out and find a good setup feel free to share.And please let me know if you run into any issues.📝 There are a couple of actions that are not rebindable just yet: inventory fast transferinventory item rotateinventory RMB context menu number keys 1-4 that swap your active character.I'll be adding these binds into the game in a future patch.🐛 Bug Fix: I also fixed an issue where zooming stopped working if you closed the totem with the escape key.Thank you for playing and supporting the game! ❤️Read full article on Community Announcements (Barrier)Patch NotesOfficial
Demo Update 1.0.25 - Weapon slots improvements!
The off hand weapon slot had some usability issues. I have now replaced the icon and made the weapons/tools automatically go into these slots on pickup.I also added an extra slot so you can have more weapons on each character!This will save your inventory space for more resources or equipment. It's also possible to add even more slots maybe with totem upgrades or special equipment. The demo build update is live now, so you can go test it out.Have fun and thank you for supporting the game!Read full article on Community Announcements (Barrier)AnnouncementsOfficial

Demo Update 1.0.23 - Bags & Food Buffs
The demo has been continuously updated with various bugfixes and quality of life features requested by the players. But this is the first time I'm posting the patch notes. I plan to do them more often now so we have a nice list of changes.What changed in this demo patch: Bags! The bags can be unlocked in the tech tree, they will give you a new inventory tab when equipped. The items are not really stored in the bag, so if you remove the bag, the items go on the ground. Would be interested to hear any feedback about this.Food Buffs! Freshly made food will now give buffs when eaten. They still need to be playtested and balanced.Swap to fist with G. If you have both weapon slots filled you can now swap to fists with the G button (hold weapon swap button on gamepad). This lets you save your weapon durability if you want to gather some grass or berries etc.Elders facial hair has grown so his beard doesn't look like a bandana.Fixed some statuses not expiring properly. Arrows almost never broke, increased break chance to 60% so now the arrow master perk (if you get it) feels more valuable.Slight memory optimization on all items.Added small sign to herb farm, so you can tell what you planted, all the different farms will have signs in the full game.Fixed the bug where you could use a healing item from traders inventory.Reworked the right click ui.Carrots now stack to 20.Some other minor ui tweaks to better fit some texts.Read full article on Community Announcements (Barrier)
