About the game
You leave your village with a wagon and follow a dangerous road toward a distant city. Along the way, you enter crypts, ruined towns and dungeons to gather valuables. You sell what you find and buy lights, tools and crystals for the wagon engine. If the fuel runs out, you can push the wagon yourself. Monsters and traps make each stop a risk.
Up to four players cooperate online. You search rooms, carry supplies and help bring fallen friends back to life. Learning how each creature behaves matters as much as finding loot. Frightened calls and failed rescues give the group things to laugh about, while the dark keeps you watching the next doorway. You can save your progress along the road and try again when the group returns.
How it feels
Kind of game
A group of friends, loose goals and a lot of messing around. Failing is part of the fun, and the best moments are the ones nobody planned.
