About this game
Story
You’ve crash-landed on a floating island—and survival is only the beginning.
As a stranded hunter, you must team up with Ignis, a young dragon, to challenge the island’s powerful rulers and collect the mana needed to escape.
But this is no ordinary island. It’s a living, breathing world filled with untamed nature, fearsome monsters, and ancient knowledge waiting to be uncovered.
Global Exploration & Shifting Climates
The world is not one island—it’s many.
Lush forests, arid deserts, frozen tundras, and molten lava fields...
Each island presents a unique survival challenge, with different climates, resources, crafting recipes, and enemies.
Your strategy must evolve with every new environment.
(The demo includes the temperate forest island.)
Survival, Crafting, and Base Building
Forge weapons, strengthen your armor, and build a shelter to survive the night.
In a world where resources are scarce, only those who craft what they need can survive.
Everything—your tools, your base, your survival—must be built with your own hands.
Decode the Lorestones
Scattered across the islands are Lorestones, ancient relics left behind by explorers before you.
Inside them lie forgotten recipes, hidden clues, and survival secrets.
Only by decoding their messages can you unlock the sealed Gates of the Island’s Rulers and move forward on your journey.
Face the Island Rulers
At the end of each island awaits a powerful boss with unique patterns and mechanics.
Defeating them is the only way to unlock the path to the next island.
Stand your ground—and fight alongside your dragon companion—to overcome the rulers of these wild lands.
