What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As Taival is a big project, we want to involve community feedback and response early into the game. This allows us to make sure Taival is the best it can be on 1.0.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to have Taival in early access for 6-12 months.”

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

“We plan to extend the main questline, which spans over multiple biomes and zones. Each new zone adds more side quests, new enemy and boss encounters, items, creatures and lore. The game will be optimized and polished further.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version contains a freely explorable open world, with a playable questlines and all that comes with it, including initial versions of professions & crafting, different weapon types, skill trees, the Henki companion and all of the main core systems. Online and split screen multiplayer are fully functional, supporting up to four players. Essentially the Taival early access is a complete gameplay experience, but with the world and story not yet finished.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“We're active and listening to community feedback on all social media channels and forums, including the Steam forum. Players are welcome to suggest new features, content and give their ideas in our Discord channel. ”

About This Game

You stumble upon the last Henki - a creature unlike any other, a shapeshifter keeping the world of Taival in balance. Together, you set out across a handcrafted blocky world to recover the shattered fragments of its lost heritage. What you find along the way will change both of you. 

Taival is a co-op adventure RPG for up to 4 players where your goal is to find out who destroyed Heartstone of the Henki, restore it to its former glory and bring your companion back to where it belongs. This is a cozy yet mighty adventure you’ve never seen before.Your Henki companion is the heart of Taival. As you encounter new creatures across the world, Henki can absorb their essence and shift into their form each one bringing a unique set of abilities to battle and exploration. A hulking beast that absorbs damage. A swift mount that scales cliffsides. A cunning predator that strikes from the shadows. 

The more of the world you explore, the more forms you unlock. Master new skills and find the combination that fits your playstyle or your party's. Taival is a handcrafted open world built from the ground up with a charming, voxel-style blocky art style. Multiple seamlessly connected realms each bring their own environments, inhabitants, and secrets from rolling highlands to dense forests and ancient ruins waiting to be uncovered. 

Spread across the world are tons of quests with varying lengths. Players can help a farmer figure who stole their barrel of plants (it was a rodent), or they can assist in settling a house ownership disagreement between two goblins. The game being a cozy co-op RPG doesn’t mean the quests are only on the cozy side of things; Players can find themselves fighting a beast on a barbarian camp or doing some pest control on insects of their own size.Taival is built for playing together. Invite up to 3 friends and journey as a full party each with their own character, companion, and skill tree. What makes Taival's co-op special: you can mix local split-screen and online players in the same session, simultaneously. One friend on the couch, two more joining from across the world all in the same adventure. 

When your group faces a pivotal quest decision, everyone gets a say. You will all follow the same dialogue, letting you see each other's cursors and suggested dialogue options.Taival's progression runs on two tracks that grow in tandem. For your character: unlock abilities, improve your combat skills, and even level up your fishing. For Henki: master new creature forms, unlock mount abilities for faster exploration, and build a companion that feels uniquely yours. The deeper you go, the more the world opens up.

  • Handcrafted open world - multiple seamlessly connected biomes with distinct environments, inhabitants, and stories

  • Up to 4-player co-op - mix local split-screen and online players in the same session, simultaneously
