AwayWard

Play online. Play offline. Either way, your hero never stops.

A free idle MMORPG built in Godot. Your hero auto-battles monsters, gathers resources and grows even while the game is closed. Come back to a "While You Were Away" report stacked with gold, gear and XP, then decide how deep you want to go.

The idle loop

Progress that respects your time

Set your hero loose and let the world turn. The good parts are never gated behind a grind you have to babysit.

Auto-battle

Your hero fights across 7 zones with exact source formulas: elites, supers, ancients and wandering bosses.

Earn while away

Offline progress banks gold, XP, gear and pets for up to 24 hours with the Camp Lantern upgrade.

Gear up

Procedural loot, themed boss sets, sockets and runewords. One click Equip Best with a power-delta preview.

Rebirth

Trade your run for soul gems, soul upgrades and stardust spent on a branching Constellations talent web.

One setting decides how you play

A living online world, or a quiet solo run

Every online screen has a Realm / Online toggle. Flip one setting and the whole world keeps running, with or without a connection.

🌐 Online

Join a live shared world running on a real backend.

  • Trade gear on a real player-run market with escrow and a 5% fee
  • Swear to one of four factions with shared, pooled progression
  • Raid The Convergence, a server-wide co-op world boss
  • Climb the leaderboard and show off your house in the gallery

🌋 Offline

The entire world keeps running solo, no connection required.

  • A full cast of 42 rival adventurers levels alongside you
  • They stock the market and fill the leaderboard
  • Made for a flight, a commute, or a quiet evening
  • Sync back up and the real players return when you reconnect
