About this game

In a world gradually falling apart, are you willing to become the light that illuminates the darkness?
Build. Explore. Conquer.
This is an open-world sandbox survival building game set on a procedurally generated fantasy continent eroded by unknown abyssal forces. Forests are withering, and corrupting mists quietly spread across the land. You begin by picking up your first withered branch. From there, you will build your home, cultivate fields, forge powerful weapons, explore the unknown, and conquer the darkness — all while guarding the one eternal flame that must never be extinguished in a world full of peril.

Playtest Update #1: Camera Controls, Building UI, and Torches
Hello everyone, Our first playtest update is live. If you already have access, just restart Steam and the update will download automatically. Based on the feedback from this first round, we focused on three things: \Camera controls\ You can now hold the right mouse button to freely rotate the camera. Rotation is no longer limited to the horizontal plane: you can tilt the view up and down within a set pitch range, closer to the camera scheme used in games like V Rising. Give it a try and tell us how it feels. \Inventory and building UI\ We reworked how the inventory and the building menu relate to each other, with clearer guidance on what to do next. The first ten minutes of a new game have been smoothed out, since that is where many of you told us things felt confusing. \Torches at night\ Torch lighting at night has been fine-tuned. Night should read better now, both inside and outside your base. A note for those who requested access but have not jumped in yet: this is a good moment. A lot of what felt rough in the first version is exactly what this patch addresses. As always, if something is confusing, broken, or boring, tell us here or on Discord. Even one sentence helps.
