Animyst

Animyst is a first-person open-world game set in a ruined afterlife, where magic has brought you back from the dead. Your mind has eroded and your purpose is unclear. You explore the Realm of the Dead, settle the desert and build a home while searching for pages of an old book called The Lore, which may hold the key to salvation.

Choose your character

You can play as either a Friend, a skeleton warrior assembled from bones in a mass grave, or a Cursed One, the fleshy walking corpse of an embalmed aristocrat. Travel, explore and build alongside members of your faction, or enter enemy territory to hunt players and destroy their bases.

Combat and magic

The game includes player-versus-player and player-versus-environment combat, along with recurring daily events. You craft spells and magic trinkets to create a customizable loadout. Spellcasting lets you throw fireballs, create giant sandstorms, hurl meteors and glide from high peaks.

Build a community

You can freely place gigantic stone monoliths to build a base, including a Stonehenge-like home. Place a Throne to establish a community and gain benefits from being a good neighbor. You can also make friends, dance together as skeletons or trade insults using animated emotes.
