About This Game

DYSPLACED is a top-down survival action-RPG set in a fantasy realm that is leaking modern objects through cracks in reality. A faction called the Watchers has summoned you as their Guardian to hold back the corruption devouring the land. Scavenge dysplaced artifacts - grenades, shotguns, mines, baseball bats, traffic cones, and stranger things - alongside forged steel and arcane brews. Build outposts, craft custom weapons, hunt the Eternals, and shape your hero across a vast open world. Play solo or co-op, online or local.

The realm has a leak.

Something in the fabric of this world has come loose, and modern objects are seeping through the cracks - firearms, landmines, busses, things that have no name in any language spoken here. The locals call them magic. The wiser ones know it's worse.

The Watchers, an old order who have studied the cracks longer than anyone alive, have summoned you as the Guardian to fight back the corruption devouring the land. The villagers welcome you with open arms. The Eternals  - ancient, hungry, patient - seem almost to have been waiting.

⚔️ Features

🔫 Scavenge Dysplaced Artifacts - Firearms, mines, baseball bats, and stranger things from a world that isn't this one. Locals call them magic. Some are.

🔨 Forge modern weapons from ancient materials - Once you understand the artifacts, you can craft local copies. A bronze-age blacksmith's take on a fragmentation grenade can be concerning though.

🧱 Two worlds of materials - Forge bronze ingots and hardwood planks alongside paracord, carbon fiber, and salvaged electronics. The recipe book reads like two civilizations arguing.

⚔️ Build a hero from scratch - Sword and shield, spear, bow, or scavenged tech in a leather holster. Mix and match modern artifacts with forged steel.

💥 Break down nearly everything - Trees, wheelbarrows, plows, barrels, houses. Survival here means demolishing the scenery, and the scenery has plenty to give.

🏕️ Build outposts, campsites, and houses - Your creations will be a mix of two worlds - modern and ancient. 

🧭 Explore a vast, beautiful, dying realm - Hunt wildlife, farm herbs, fish murky lakes, find hidden quests, brave wonders and horrors.

🩸 Brew potions and cook meals - Tactical advantages, vigor, boons. The cooking pot and the alchemy bench might be your greatest weapons.

🙎‍♀️ Meet the denizens - Help them survive what's coming. Some of them know more than they're saying and some of them welcome the chaos. 

🧛‍♂️ Fight the Eternals - Corrupted, ancient, patient. They have been part of this realm longer than anyone can remember - except for the Watchers.

🤝 Solo or co-op, online or local - Bring a friend into the dream-infused world. Or don't. Some things are better witnessed alone.

Scavenge the world for Dysplaced Artifacts — modern items that have seeped from our realm into theirs. Some are incredibly powerful, and the locals mistake them for magic. You can even learn to craft local counterparts, like grenades forged in copper or bronze casings.

Nearly everything in this massive world is destructible: trees, wheelbarrows, plows, barrels—even houses. Gather materials to learn new skills and craft a wide array of items. Use your axe, hammer, sword or powerful modern tools to destroy nearly everything!

Craft and customize a vast array of weapons, armor, and tools to grow stronger. Create gear that fits your playstyle: block and parry with sword and shield, hurl deadly spears, or strike from afar with a bow. Spice it up with scavenged modern artifacts — grenades, mines, and shotguns — or build an anvil to mix and match blades and hilts for unique weapon combinations.

Once equipped for the journey, a vast and enchanting realm awaits. Gather resources, hunt wildlife, farm local plants gather herbs, shrooms and berries, uncover hidden treasures, complete mysterious quests, and brave awe-inspiring wonders and dangers alike.

Make a campfire, build a workbench, forge, or even a teleporter — or craft a full house! Venture further by establishing campsites and outposts along the way. A well-equipped outpost can make all the difference when facing the challenges of this strange new frontier.

As you arrive, a sinister force consumes the realm—spreading chaos and driving its people into exile. They are called the Eternals, and you have been called to fight them. Are you ready to steel yourself against the scourge devouring these lands?

You can conquer this strange new world alone—or bring a friend. Prepare for a shared experience in a dream-infused world where everyone can find both tranquility and adventure.

The game already has the majority of features and a large part of final content at its current state. The main thing in development is the rest of the content (~50-60%). During early access we plan add rest of the content. We also plan to add features and functionality not specified here yet - what we add depends on the feedback during the Early Access.

In our experience the Early Access model will result in a better game: We'll have more time to develop the game together with a more extensive audience than we can reach with our internal testing. We will create the remaining part of the game in any case, so it's better to create the rest of the game with more feedback.

Early adopters tend to be the most passionate and vocal players — their feedback on things like difficulty balance, progression pacing, and missing quality-of-life features is invaluable and hard to replicate internally.

We'll be actively present on our Discord server and Steam forums, listening to player feedback and engaging in discussion. We update the game regularly, and our in-game changelog keeps the community informed of every change.
