Sixty seconds

The trailer, and none of it is faked

Every shot is the running game: a real overnight report, a real pity pull on pull 400, a real world raid fought to the last hit point. Skip to whichever bit you came for.


The loop

Four things, over and over

And none of them need you sitting there watching a bar fill.

Fight

Your hero auto-battles through 349 creatures, enemy packs, roaming bosses and seven spawn variants.

Bank it while away

Gold, XP and gear pile up for 4 hours offline, or 24 once the Camp Lantern is maxed.

Gear up

Procedural loot, boss sets, sockets and runewords. Equip Best shows you the power change first.

Rebirth

Cash the run in for soul gems and stardust, then climb the Constellations web and go again.


Try it

Leave the lantern lit

Pick how long you are gone, then watch the night go by and collect what is waiting. These rolls are a toy, but the offline cap is real.

Base cap is 4 hours. The Camp Lantern upgrade adds 2 hours a level, up to 24.


Honest gacha

Pull the banner, see the rates

These are the game's actual odds and the game's actual pity, read straight out of the engine. Legendary is brutal on purpose. Pity is the way through, and it remembers you between visits.

Companion banner

100 companions, twenty in every rarity.

Epic guaranteed within0 / 60
Legendary guaranteed within0 / 400

Your pity counters live in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere, and the game keeps its own.


One setting

Shared world, or just yours

Flip it whenever. Online you share the realm with real people. Offline the same world runs on your device with no connection at all.

🌐 Online

A live shared realm on a real backend.

  • A player-run market with escrow and a 5% fee
  • Four factions with pooled upgrades and research
  • The Convergence, a realm-wide co-op world raid
  • Leaderboards, and a gallery for your house

🌋 Offline

The whole game, no connection needed.

  • 42 rival adventurers keep leveling without you
  • They stock the market and fill the leaderboard
  • Built for a flight, a commute, a quiet evening
  • Reconnect and it syncs. The real players come back

What you grow into

Systems, for people who like systems

If you play Idle Clans, Melvor, Milky Way Idle or NGU, you know the shape. The difference here is a complete offline mode.

The art

Everything is drawn once, and drawn properly

Every item, creature and companion has its own pixel art, and the same picture follows it through combat, your bag, crafting, the Bestiary, housing, summons and the Codex. The game and the Discord edition show the same thing.

All 1356 pieces are in the Compendium, sorted and searchable.

One hero, two homes

The same game, in Discord

Not a companion app. The bot runs the real thing in any server or DM, and adds three classes, 50 companions and Companies of its own. Try a few commands.

# awayward Your hero fights whether you are here or not

🔗 Cross-save, automatically

Link once and your hero follows you.

  • Your save lives in the cloud and syncs in the background
  • Settings then Cloud in the game, or /link in the bot
  • Hunt on your PC, check in from your phone over lunch
  • A Stormcaller, Herald or Alchemist made in Discord plays in the game too
  • If both copies moved on, you pick which to keep. Nothing is overwritten quietly

🤖 What Discord adds

Things the bot has and the game does not.

  • Three extra classes and 50 extra companions
  • Companies, trading, co-op Expeditions and Clan Clash
  • Friendly spars, and a right-click menu on your friends
  • The same pixel art, in servers and DMs, nothing to install

Add the bot to Discord


Your hero is already out there.

Start a run, close the game, come back to the spoils. Free, and great on its own.
