About the game
You start with basic tools in a world of forests, caves and monsters. You dig for ore, open hidden chests and turn what you find into weapons, armour and useful equipment. A small shelter can grow into a town for visiting characters. Stronger gear helps you reach new places and take on larger bosses.
Friends share the same world, but you can choose different jobs. One person can work on houses while another searches underground or gathers materials for the next fight. You come back to improve your equipment and explore further. Quiet building gives way to dangerous expeditions, so it suits a group that enjoys choosing its own goals and learning what to prepare next.
