Open beta. The realm is open to all while it is still being shaped. Play it as you would any day: ordinary play is what tells us what to fix and what to keep. When the realm opens for good, every hero starts afresh; your points and the looks you own stay with your account.
A tale told at every dawn
Every dawn, someone walks into the old wood to become strong enough to kill the balaur that bleeds this isle. Down the river lie other woods, other guardians, and at the end the place where nobody grows old.
Today that someone is you.
Along the old river the woods still keep their guardians: the balaur in its lair, the strigoi at the crossroads, the Mother of the Forest who misleads travellers, the ielele dancing in the clearings.
Every isle has its village, its inn and its smith, and every wood a gate that only a slain guardian opens.
Down the river wait the next woods, and at the end, the place where nobody grows old.
Oldwoods is a text game in daily turns: a handful of hunts each dawn, a fight read line by line, gold for the smith, a bed at the inn, and tomorrow the woods again.
Take a minute or an evening; the wood waits.
It plays in the browser or in the Android app, in the language you choose, with the same hero in both.
