Bramblewick is half swallowed by the Wildwood, and every dusk the Gloam rolls in. Each day you raid, you scavenge, purify, and slip out of an open exit before the Gloaming closes the last one. Everything you bring home mends the village. Nothing dies on screen: creatures are purified, goblins are bonked.

Every raid is about ten minutes. Exits open one after another, then close for good. Reach one, ring the bell, and hold out for 20 to 30 seconds while the noise draws everything nearby. Push your luck, or leave?

Twin-stick, readable, fair. Six hotbar slots hold your weapons, food and throwables. Roll through a telegraphed attack, swap to the Shortbow, lob a Clay Bomb. Enemies show what they will do before they do it.

Slimes, skeletons and mushroom monsters burst into sparkles and leaves. Goblin loot crews get bonked, stars circling, and drop their bags. Nobody dies and nothing bleeds. Goblins also fight the creatures, and empty containers before you do.

Search crates and barrels, decide what fits your pack, and tuck the best thing in your Safe Pouch, because anything else is lost if you fall. Switch on Cozy mode and you keep your gear and your hotbar weapons.

Sell finds to Mira, Wren and Old Tobb at prices that shift each day, craft with Hazel and Pip, cook at the hearth, and fish in the pond. Every raid repairs something you can see: a smithy, a loom, a lantern.

Mother Gloop, Chief Grubnose, the Elder Treant and the weeping Gloam Heart each guard a zone. Learn the telegraphed phases, then cleanse and calm them. The woods remember who cared for them.

Gentle rain, morning mist and golden sunshine change the sound and the sight lines. At dusk the light shrinks and stronger creatures appear. No minimap: you read the hand-drawn map instead.

Host a co-op world over Steam with friends. The raid scales with your crew: more creatures, tougher bosses, a longer timer. Co-op worlds are their own saves, and the host keeps each player's character.
