About the Game

A thousand years after civilization collapsed, nature has swallowed the frontier whole. Forests cover forgotten roads, mountains hide abandoned settlements, and only a handful of explorers still dare venture into the wild lands beyond.

But something is wrong with the south.

Strange creatures have claimed the valleys. The land behaves in ways that can't quite be explained. And somewhere far to the south, rumors speak of a fracture — a place where reality itself seems to be unraveling.

You don't know what's down there. You go anyway.

SURVIVE THE WILDERNESS

Hunt monsters, find power-ups, and grow stronger as you explore a vast and unpredictable world. Each run pushes you deeper into hostile territory. The landscape shifts from familiar forests and mountains into something altogether stranger. Survive as long as you can — and go further next time.

EXPLORE A FORGOTTEN WORLD

Journey through a procedurally generated wilderness inspired by South American landscapes and folklore. Discover hidden locations, abandoned structures, and a mysterious handcrafted island rising from the middle of the sea. 🗿

BUILD YOUR RUN

Defeat monsters to unlock abilities, find firearms, and shape your build with power-ups that change every run. No two runs play the same.
