About the Game

Schema is a voxel sandbox where you make the worlds.

MAKE A WORLD

Start from a real place: mountains, coastlines and valleys built from real elevation data. Use a

region that comes with the game, or bring a small one of your own. Or start from scratch, with

rolling hills, rugged peaks or open plains. Pick a theme, tell the AI what you have in mind -

"rural Japan near Kyoto, Edo period", "a shrine on the mountain, a fishing village, a samurai

dojo", "war-torn and mysterious" - and it lays out the places of your world. Schema then builds

its story around them: characters to meet, quests to follow, secrets to find.

PLAY IT

Mine and gather, smelt ore in furnaces, and craft tools, equipment and machines. Build anything

from a shelter to a town. Talk to the people you meet, take on their quests, trade with merchants,

and fight when you have to. Keep warm, keep your head above water, and mind the drop.

A LIVING WORLD

Weather moves across the land, snow falls and melts, water flows, soil dries and soaks, and plants

spread and grow through the seasons. Your world keeps its own clock.

SHARE IT WITH FRIENDS

Your worlds live on our servers, so they're there whenever you are. Give up to five friends your

world's code, and they can join you in it, even without owning Schema: the free Schema Demo is all

they need. You decide who stays.

MAKE IT YOURS

Nearly everything in Schema is plain XML: blocks, items, equipment, characters, dialogue, quests

and the stories that tie them together. Change a world or write a new one from the ground up. No

code required.
