What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game have about +10 hours of game play, with the first Five maps Ready.

I need some real feedback from players, to find bugs.
(There is link for Feedback in the end scene.)

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be released 1th February 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“My plan is to have three major quests, and around 10 maps.

Right now there are about 50 quests and five maps.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game works, and you can play it for many hours, before running out of caves to dive into, NPC's to trade with and quests to complete.
On top of that there is magic, smiting and alchemy, and much more.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the Early version is 50% because the game is not finished.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I have around 50 achievements, to test if the player can finished quests, and simple tasks like sitting down, sleeping and Row a Boat.
I have made leader-boards, to make players test themselves against each other.
Somebody has made a Fan Discord, which I use to chat with players, about feedback.”

I love playing open-world RPGs like Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind, as well as exploring Tolkien’s 'Lord of the Rings' universe. So, I’ve taken the parts I enjoy most from them: the wild magic and alchemy from Morrowind, the bright colors of Oblivion, and Skyrim’s weapon improvements.

So if you like skyrim, or if you like morrowind, then try this game.
