Features:
A Blacksmith’s Life
As the town’s only blacksmith, locals and visitors alike will come to you in search of common goods and unique gifts. Forge a variety of items in your workshop, then use them to earn coin in your shopfront, or deliver orders to your neighbours, to strengthen bonds and unlock new recipes and questlines. Riches await those who devote themselves to a shopkeep’s life!
Cavern Delving
To craft anything, you’ll need to travel into the caverns of the nearby escarpment. Explore its unique environments to mine and forage, with various metals, flora, and fauna awaiting discovery. Upgrade your tools to gather higher tier resources, and scale the heights of the caverns to find unique items, lost townsfolk, and uncover mysteries.
Forging Friendships
With Ambyth in disarray, its townsfolk need your help. Finding survivors will unlock new questlines, and deeper connections can unlock new recipes and bonuses when like becomes love. Be aware, however, that connections existed before you in Ambyth. A friendship with one person could find you at odds with another.
Visiting Towns (Multiplayer)
Welcome up to three friends to your version of Ambyth, or sail to visit theirs. The escarpment’s layouts are unique to each player’s game, so your friend’s caves will differ greatly from your own. Share discoveries and build memories beyond the main storyline: encounter new ‘townsfolk’, find rare recipes, and spend big at your friends’ blacksmith shops (or make a hearty profit). Adventures are best enjoyed with company!
