Five orbs fell.
The night came in behind them.
Explore five zones by day, survive the dark, and carry the fallen orbs home — alone, or on a world you host for your friends.
Guest play is solo. Hosting, joining and saving across devices need a free account.
WHAT IS IN THE WORLD
The whole world is two picture files and about 200kB — it runs in the browser you already have, and keeps running with the wifi off.
A 240-tile overworld
Home Town in the middle, five zones fanning out from it, and fifty-eight people with something to ask.
Four guarded landmarks
Skull Isle, Frostpeak Summit, the Caldera and the Lost Oasis — each ringed, each guarded, each holding something that never leaves.
Ten minutes of day, ten of night
By night everything that walks comes for you, and only the light of a lit star keeps it off.
Five temples, five raid caves
A keeper with an orb behind it in every temple, and a raid boss that scales with your party in every cave.
LV 10Mounts
Seven creatures at Skyllar’s stables, from a +50% pony to a +150% Nightmare Steed.
LV 5Pets
Eight companions at Maxi’s pen that follow you and bite whatever you are fighting.
Your own house
Furnish it from Hollis’s timber yard and unlock the door so friends can come in.
Six shops, one bag
Store, armory, charms, timber yard, stables and pet pen — and you can sell at any of them.
LV 10Four paths
A wizard in the mountains gives you a name — Emberblade, Rimeward, Venomshade or Stormcaller — a skill tree, and a second ladder that levels beside your own. It costs you nothing, and at path level 10 you may take a second one.
Plays offline
Open it once and the whole game runs on a train with no signal, saves and all.
Weapons that swing by class
Spears thrust, hammers smash, daggers stab, and bows loose an arrow.
Three acts
Kill the Shadow King and the world does not end — it breaks, and you can walk back to any act you have beaten.
HOW TO PLAY

KEYS
Phones and tablets get an on-screen pad with the same buttons.
PLAY WITH FRIENDS
One person hosts from a browser tab and everyone else clicks a link.
1. Host a world
Press Host a game, pick World 1, 2 or 3, and your browser becomes the world with a room code that never changes.
2. Send the link
Friends open it and are standing in your world — level 1 the first time, and wherever they left off after that.
3. Keep the tab open
Your tab is the world, so closing it puts everyone else back to solo where they stood.
Parties, raids, PvP, chat
Invite from the player list, fight your own copy of a raid boss, and talk nearby or to the whole world.
Same wifi, no internet
npm run host runs a world on one computer for the whole house.
Your worlds, your rules
A free account hosts 3 worlds and Premium 15, and P lets you warn, kick or ban anyone on yours.
THE WORLD THAT NEVER SLEEPS
Every other world is somebody’s browser tab; this one runs on a machine of its own and keeps its clock, its heroes and its history between visits.
8 PMThe nightly Orbfall
An orb falls on the town fountain at eight every evening, sized for a crowd, and sinks back into the ground twelve minutes later.
The notice board
Leave a line at the fountain and it is still there tomorrow for whoever walks past.
The book of names
Who cleared each raid cave, who felled which elite, who stood at the Orbfall, and the day they did it.
Seasons and the moon
A season turns when the month turns, and the moon comes round every twenty-nine and a half days.
The Orbfall is announced at half an hour, ten minutes, five and one — and a free account gets you through the door, listed on Worlds whenever it is up.
