Awakeroots

Awakeroots is a hand-drawn survival game set in a world inspired by Slavic folklore. You lead a group of settlers on wild, mythical lands, building and farming to keep them alive while facing dangerous creatures and other threats. You can play Free Mode, survive as long as possible and aim for the highest number of days, or take on Campaign missions focused on hunting monsters.

Explore and gather

Explore the wilderness for resources, minerals and plants used to craft potions, meals, weapons, traps, armor and building materials. The deeper you venture, the more likely you are to meet wandering travelers and traders offering exotic goods. Some goods cannot be crafted and may be essential ingredients for unique equipment.

Build and provide

Start with nothing and build a settlement with workshops and storage buildings. Reinforce walls and fences, set traps, and protect your crops from animals and monsters. Plant and harvest berries, vegetables, grains and cultivated plants to feed your settlers, trade with merchants or prepare nourishing meals.

Face the dangers

The world is hostile by day and night, with mysteries and mythical creatures throughout its dense forests. You may encounter Leshies, Rusalkas, Noonwraiths, Vodniks and other dark beings, as well as wild animals. Survive for as long as you can.

Game modes

Free Mode challenges you to last as many days as possible. In Campaign, you complete missions centered on hunting monsters to obtain unique artifacts that can be used in other playthroughs, including multiplayer. The first mission is available, and multiplayer co-op is in beta: you can invite Steam friends to play together.
