About this game
"Beyond the great plains and mountains, deep inside the forbidden lands, lies a dormant kingdom, untouched in centuries. Those who enter the vast ranges of its terrible curse, will forever drift along its unknowable, shifting paths. Running from horrible creatures, hiding in crumbling ruins, watching for lights on the mountain during starry nights."
Introduction
After months of travel across windswept plains, mossy forests, and barren mountains the ancient city appears far on the horizon, its broken towers rising from the haze. On a steep pass you see the cursed land below, its features moving and winding like giant snakes beneath the fog. The fisherman told tales of those who vanished in the Barrier and of the horrible visions it gave. At dawn you set out across a placid lake, in search for the hidden entrance to the Barrier.

A New Adventure: Each run starts at one of over 1500 locations in the world from where you have to make your way along a winding, unpredictable path that leads you through forests, ruins, and dungeons.
The Forbidden Land: Explore dark forests, sunken temples, sandy plains and spider-infested crypts in a world created entirely by hand using the engine's built-in editor.

"That narrow, broken path through the trees there. Snakes all the way deep into the kingdom." The old man looks at you. "Rubble and curses are all that's left there. Some other went there long ago. Looked just like you. Best you find something else." He grows silent, his eyes fixed beyond the trees.
