The god Auran has vanished. Journey alone or with friends through a fantasy world, searching for Auran’s temple. No combat, no heroes. Just bad decisions, stolen rations, goblin kidnappings and the faint hope that your friends will not simply leave you behind.

Entered the Steam 250 weekly chart as a new entry at #42 with a score of 6.91 and a 96% positive rating from 27 reviews. Released 9 September 2026.

Key features

Co-op with no combat to fall back on

Removing combat removes the default thing a group does when it runs out of ideas. What is left is travel, supplies and disagreement, which turns the co-op session into a negotiation rather than a fight, and that is a genuinely rare shape for a multiplayer RPG.

Scarcity drives the story

Rations get stolen and party members get kidnapped. Failure states that cost resources rather than health mean a bad run produces an anecdote instead of a reload, which is the mechanism behind most memorable co-op stories.

96% positive, and it plays solo

The journey works alone as well as with friends. That matters for a small co-op game: titles that require a full group tend to die when the group cannot schedule, and a solo path keeps the game playable in the gaps.
