Gather, hunt, craft, sneak and more:
– Each biome has a set of objectives and mechanics.
– Craft the tools needed to progress further into the mountains.
– Use stealth to disengage with the more dangerous inhabitants.
– Solve world puzzles devised by the local eccentrics.
Get to know the locals:
– Discover strange landmarks raised by even stranger characters.
– Find their stories scattered throughout the map.
– Uncover the mystery surrounding Hermit’s Thumb and its inhabitants.
Time is not (always) on your side:
– Dynamic lighting and a day and night cycle.
– Hunt during the day and gather at night.
– Use your time wisely or you will be stuck in the dark.
Manage your health to stay alive:
– No stamina or hunger bars, just your health.
– Gathering without the right tools drains it.
– If it drops too low you wont be able to gather, or swim, or live.
– Forage for berries, or hunt for meat to top up your stores.
Manage your inventory:
– You’ll start with plenty of space, but stuff piles up.
– Don’t throw anything away, you might need it later.
