System requirements
- OS: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), macOS 11+ on Apple Silicon or 10.12+ on Intel, Linux (x86_64), or Android 7+ (arm64)
- 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
- Discord features: Rich Presence needs the Windows build. Cloud restore, one-time cross-save codes, and Discord bot linking work on every platform
chmod +x AwayWard.x86_64.
Android: allow installs from your browser or file manager once, open the downloaded APK, and approve the install. Google Play distribution is planned but not live yet.
Free to play. Every purchase is cosmetic or convenience only. You can never buy power, gold or gacha luck.
