About this game

Travel through a cozy medieval kingdom as a wandering craftsman, taking on jobs for townsfolk and learning how to make what they need through experimentation. Gather materials, discover recipes, and complete handcrafted quest chains as you work your way from newly promoted journeyman to true master of the craft.

  • Solo-friendly and couch co-op

Craft Through Discovery

Not every job comes with instructions. As you travel from town to town, you will be asked to create useful goods, repair structures, and help local communities. Figuring out how to craft what they need is part of the journey.

Use a tactile two-hand system to pick up, carry, combine, and work with tools directly. Experiment with materials and crafting steps, uncover new recipes, and grow your recipe book over time.

Traveling Jobs, Big and Small

Travel between towns and workshops in the world, taking on jobs that range from simple requests to larger community projects. While some ask for simple items, others require you to gather materials from different locations, prepare each part, and return with everything needed to complete the final job.

Each quest line is a chance to discover new recipes and move one step closer to mastery.

Solo or Couch Co-op

Play through the adventure on your own or with up to 4 players in local couch co-op. Work side by side, split up simple tasks, or help each other complete larger jobs.

The full journey is playable solo from start to finish, while co-op offers a relaxed way to share the crafting experience with friends and family.

A Cozy World, No Timers

There are no high-stress timers pushing you through missions, giving you room to experiment, learn recipes, and enjoy the journey at your own pace.

Explore a playful medieval world, help its townsfolk through hands-on work, and steadily build your knowledge as you progress toward becoming a master craftsman.
