About the Game



"It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness." - Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Ephesus is an ancient roman city which is located in aegean coast of Turkey. This city was one of the most glorious city of Roman Empire at the times. In Ephesus's massive open world you will explore the whole grandeur of this rich city as if you were walking down on it's streets. While you're chasing the quest line, trading, gathering or building you will see the real coverings of the Ephesus. Main goal of the game is that it will let you experience the Citizen of Ephesus's daily life while you're exploring this open world and surviving on it.



In Ephesus you will take on the role of Hector Remus at the 100 BC. Hector is a passionate young man with great dreams and dedication. You will try to set up your own path through this journey. You need to gather resources for hunting, crafting, building and you need to check your vital signs to stay alive.

This game is not going to force you to follow the questline. If you want you can just hunt, build and explore the map designed to surprise you. You can be a great trader or a farmer who makes more money that no one has ever done.
