What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Since 2025, we have integrated Early Access into our process of gathering feedback and co-developing games with players. With the launch of our first cultivation idle simulation game, Timeless Teapot, we aimed to build a strong community and involve more players in the development journey. By releasing games in Early Access, we hope to continue growing our community and welcoming even more players to participate in shaping the games.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We have prepared extensive content for <I Am The Dao>, and the game will be continuously developed with regular updates. The Early Access phase is expected to last between one and two years.”

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

“The full version of <I Am The Dao> plans to introduce more worlds, cultivation realms, and corresponding gameplay. The core features of the game are already in place, and most of the future development time will be focused on creating additional content and extra gameplay systems.
As Early Access nears its end, we will concentrate on polishing quality and fine-tuning the experience for the official release. Language support is also very important to us—we will provide more localized language options around the time of the official launch.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the Early Access version of <I Am The Dao>, you will embark on a journey to seek the Dao, starting as a mortal. Experience a complete cultivation progression from Qi Refining to Deity Transformation, with each stage unlocking unique magical treasures, Dao techniques, cultivation systems, and gameplay. Enjoy the freedom to combine combat techniques, formations, treasures, and cultivation methods to forge your own unique path. With an estimated 100 to 300 hours of gameplay, immerse yourself in dungeon challenges, tower climbs, artifact forging, spirit beast nurturing, farming, alchemy, and countless other arts, exploring the endless joys of different cultivation paths.”

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

“During the Early Access period of <I Am The Dao>, as the game’s content continues to expand, we will adjust the price at key development milestones. This approach aims to reward early supporters with the best possible price for experiencing the game and to ensure that the final pricing fairly reflects the full value of the complete game.”

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

“Player feedback is the core driving force behind our development. While we have a development plan in place, we place greater emphasis on communicating and collaborating with our players to shape <I Am The Dao> into the ideal cultivation idle game that everyone envisions.
You are welcome to join our official communities to share your ideas, questions, and suggestions at any time. We will also regularly share development progress and future plans, ensuring that every player’s voice is heard.Our main community hub is on Discord, and we look forward to welcoming you there.”

About This Game

The heavens have their way, the earth has its path, and humans have their own journey.

I asked the heavens, but they remained silent; I asked the earth, but it gave no answer; I asked others, only to hear that each walks a different road.

In the end, I realized—the so-called "Way" is merely someone else’s path.

Where, then, is my own path?

Not in the highest heavens, nor in the deepest abyss, nor within countless scriptures.

It lies in the edge of my sword, within my alchemy furnace, in the spiritual energy gathered with every breath, and in every moment of enlightenment between life and death.

The path is beneath my feet; the Way resides within my heart.

I forge my own path.

Path of Immortal or Demon—The Choice Is Yours

Focus on a single path or embrace multiple disciplines—the decision is yours:

  • Spell Cultivator: Refine your true essence and unify all magic into one.

  • Body Cultivator: Temper your vital energy and forge an indestructible physique.

  • Sword Cultivator: Sharpen your heart as a blade and attain divine sword intent.

  • True Demon: Command soul banners and march alongside ten thousand spirits.

  • Blood Demon: As long as the sea of blood remains, you shall never perish.

  • Heavenly Demon: Formless and shapeless, free and unrestrained.

Effortless Idle Gameplay—Simplicity in the Great Way

The path of cultivation requires no constant attention. We’ve removed tedious tasks so you can focus on the essence of cultivation. Engage in idle training, automatically circulate your energy, absorb spiritual essence, and watch your cultivation grow effortlessly.
Let your character tackle dungeon battles automatically while you reap abundant resources. Focus only on the most crucial decisions—when to breakthrough, how to forge magical treasures, which techniques to master, and what milestone to aim for in your next ascension. Leave the grind to time, and devote your moments to contemplation.

Choose Your Talents, Nurture Your Abode

At the start of your journey, select a unique talent that defines your path. Will you choose “Herbal Affinity” to multiply the efficiency of spiritual herb cultivation and become a master botanist? Or perhaps “Enlightened Sword Heart” to accelerate the growth of your sword intent and pursue the pinnacle of sword Dao? Maybe “Mystic Physique” to build a foundation for mastering multiple disciplines and achieving the Great Way? Every choice shapes your unique cultivation journey.

Nurture your abode—from a humble cave to an immortal’s mansion, and eventually into a pocket realm of your own! Your dwelling evolves as your cultivation advances. Cultivate spirit farms to grow rare treasures, raise spiritual pets to become your loyal companions in battle, and transform your abode into a sanctuary brimming with spiritual energy. With your chosen talents, will you become a recluse tending to fields in tranquility or a battle-hardened cultivator seeking constant challenges? Your abode, your rules!

Diverse Gameplay, Unlocked Progressively

A vast array of content unlocks with each realm and world, ensuring endless engagement:

  • Mortal Realm: Explore secret realms, refine pills and artifacts, raise spirit beasts, manage your abode…

  • Spirit Realm: Comprehend the laws of nature, compete on the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard, form bonds with companions, experience the trials of mortal emotions…

  • Immortal Realm: Open an inner world within yourself, command heavenly principles, wage wars across countless races, condense your Dao fruit…

  • Cosmic Realm: Slay the three corpses, refine divine treasures, reenact the creation of heavens, and ultimately transcend all limits…

Conclusion

Now is the time to step into this world of immortals and demons and embark on your own journey to forge the Great Way!
