About This Game

EVERY DAY, THE BALANCE MUST BE PAID

Venture beyond Base Camp into a vibrant but dangerous fantasy wilderness. Fight hostile creatures, gather valuable loot, and return with your earnings before the day is over.

Sell what you recover, purchase new equipment, strengthen your weapons at the blacksmith, and unlock ancient portals leading deeper into the world. Every expedition is a choice between returning safely and risking everything for one more reward.

EXPLORE A DANGEROUS FANTASY WORLD

Journey through distinct regions filled with different monsters, resources, hidden rewards, and environmental challenges. Search for treasure, mine valuable ores, conquer platforming courses, and activate portals that make future expeditions faster and safer.

The farther you travel, the greater the opportunities—and the more dangerous the journey home becomes.

FIGHT, LOOT, AND RETURN ALIVE

Battle a wide variety of creatures using fast-paced melee combat. Learn their attack patterns, avoid incoming strikes, and choose the right moment to fight back.

Defeated enemies can drop valuable loot, but carrying treasure means nothing if you cannot bring it back. Decide whether to continue hunting or return to Base Camp before a promising expedition turns into a costly mistake.

PAY WHAT YOU OWE

Every day, the Mage demands a payment.

Gold submitted during the day raises the Due. Gold submitted at night lowers it instead. Fail to meet the daily quota, and the resulting penalty is twice as severe.

Managing the Due is just as important as surviving the wilderness. Plan your route, track the remaining time, and coordinate your return carefully. A single bad night can undo the progress of the entire party.

PREPARE FOR THE NEXT EXPEDITION

Base Camp gives you a brief moment of safety between journeys.

Sell recovered loot to earn gold, browse the shop for new weapons, and visit the blacksmith to improve your equipment. Upgrade attack power, maximum health, movement speed, and health regeneration to create a build that suits the way you play.

New equipment can make exploration easier, but every upgrade requires resources that could otherwise be used to meet the quota. Spend wisely.

SURVIVE THE CHANGING DAY

The wilderness becomes more dangerous after sunset. Stronger threats emerge, visibility falls, and returning safely becomes increasingly difficult.

Stay out longer for another chance at valuable loot, or return early and secure what you have already earned. Time, risk, and reward are always connected.

PLAY ALONE OR WORK TOGETHER

Face the wilderness alone or cooperate with friends in online co-op.

Choose your character, divide responsibilities, explore different routes, and watch each other’s backs. Help fallen allies return to the fight and work together to gather enough gold before the deadline.

Every player can contribute—but one careless decision may affect the whole party.

YOUR CHOICES SHAPE THE BALANCE

The Due does more than measure what you owe. Your decisions gradually push the balance in different directions, leading the journey toward different conclusions.

Will you pursue order, embrace chaos, or discover another possibility hidden between them?
