About the Game

A historically based recreation of my home city of Hereford in England UK from the year 1642. I have pieced together a picture of the city as it once was. Take a step into 17th century life and experience history in full 3D with realistic graphics.

Using period maps, illustrations and drawings, together with still existing period buildings in the City and elsewhere; A scale model of the city as it once was.

Over 200 unique enterable buildings together with the the city walls and gates, the castle and the bridge over the river Wye. Beyond the gates you can travel the countryside; A 4Km * 4Km map allows you to journey and explore a mile from the city in any direction. With towering cathedrals and churches seen from miles away. A highly interactable environment awaits with many hidden gems to find.

Your character lives and works in the 17th century with all that entails. Period clothes, money, tools, transport, food, language, writing, to name but a few aspects.

The past is another country: they do things differently there.
