System requirements

  • OS: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
  • Graphics: runs on the Compatibility (OpenGL / ANGLE) renderer, so old and integrated GPUs are fine
  • Disk: a few hundred MB for the self-contained build
  • Network: optional. Online unlocks the shared world; Offline Mode needs no connection at all
Sharing the build with a friend? Send the full self-contained zip, not a lone exe. A bare AwayWard.exe ships without its runtime files and will open to a blank window. Your friend unzips all files into one folder, runs AwayWard.exe, and clicks "More info" then "Run anyway" on the unsigned-app SmartScreen prompt.

Free to play. Every purchase is cosmetic or convenience only. You can never buy power, gold or gacha luck.
