About this game
You have been summoned to this world against your will. You know nothing, and everything here is utterly strange.
You must find your own food, and monsters emerge at night. A moment of carelessness could send you to the next world.
However, if you persevere and challenge yourself, you will accumulate knowledge, and the totems and crafting recipes you collect will allow you to progress through the game more smoothly.
It will likely require a great deal of patience and focus, but there will be an equal amount of excitement and thrill in the adventure. Now, be brave. Destiny awaits.
A Survival Story in an Unknown World
This world contains countless regions, such as cool plains, cold tundras, and sultry jungles. There are various interactions with nature, such as lighting a fire when cold or cooling down in water when hot. Learning about the ecology and nature of this world will make it easier to survive. You can experience various stories as you progress through the game.
Diverse Classes with Unique Abilities
You can choose one of various classes to explore this world. Initially, only the Adventurer is selectable, but you can unlock new classes by meeting specific conditions.
Gather, Craft, and Build
This world is filled with various gatherable resources. You can use these to craft various items like delicious dishes, potions, and equipment. You can unlock new functions by constructing various facilities. For example, you can craft potions with an Alchemist's Cauldron, and building a Human Cannon will allow you to travel to distant regions. If you are short on materials, try finding a merchant and attempting a trade.
Into a New Adventure with Good Equipment and Magic
Equipment can come with outlandish modifiers, including beneficial options or harmful ones. Different skills are used depending on the weapon and gear equipped. There are spell scrolls and castable magic, and magic becomes more powerful when enhanced.
