Artemishea

Artemishea is an open-world animal survival game in which you control a creature and try to survive in its environment. You explore landscapes of rocky regions, lakes, valleys, mountains and sky, and uncover mysteries along the way. If you die, your game starts over.

Survive as a creature

On a server, you choose which creature to begin your survival journey as. Playing as a predator means hunting other players, who can defend themselves with their own skills. You can also scavenge prey left by successful hunters, but a predator may still be nearby. Trusting other players can put you at risk of being killed and eaten.

In Survival mode, choose from several species, then spawn in and grow. Other players can invite you to be raised from young to adult.

Game modes

Servers host either of two modes:

• Sandbox: Practice fighting, learn how each animal feels to play and meet other players without risking hours of survival progress. Choose an animal and spawn into the sandbox world.
• Survival: Play as your chosen animal, grow and try to stay alive.

Planned features

The following features are described as plans for the game's future, and may change or expand:

• Ailments: Broken bones, injury-related changes in stance, scars, disease, sickness and paralysis. Visible wounds and poor condition are intended to show a creature's fights and struggles.
• AI: Realistic creatures with complex behaviours that can be hunted.
• Mod support: Steam Workshop support for custom maps, settings and creatures.
• Snatching: Birds of prey will be able to seize the young of other animals.
• Destructible environment: Interact with and alter the land within limits.
• More ecosystems: Feature packs for ecosystems such as Safari, Ocean and Jungle.
