Druid's Tale: Crystal Cave

Druid's Tale: Crystal Cave is a game about an unconventional druid protecting the land from forces of darkness. You explore underground caves, gather ingredients, craft potions and help neutral factions, while fighting spirits that threaten the world. The game can be played with a mouse and keyboard; its VR and Leap Motion support is disabled in the current version.

Explore the caves

Magical crystals fill the underground caves, where you can find hidden passages, secret locations and unique ingredients. The land’s flora grows according to how it is cared for, and each biome has its own ecosystem. Interfering with the land can put rare herbs at risk of extinction.

Craft and research

Make potions by combining ingredients in a cauldron, discover recipes, refine their compositions and save them on scrolls. You can also make drugs and alcohol; many concoctions have unique effects that can change how you see the environment. Specialized tools let you study newly found ingredients, objects and enemy remains to learn their properties and characteristics.

Trade with factions

Trade with neutral factions to meet their needs, gain access to objects unavailable in your land and maintain relationships. The factions interact with one another and can affect your land by building structures or devastating it.

Fight the darkness

Black spirits come from another dimension to haunt the land. Some try to take control of parts of your world by manifesting as evil totems. They can drain the land’s life energy and gain unique abilities to defend themselves. You can travel to the dark dimension from which the ghosts attack, where rare ingredients and treasures can be found.

Missions and meditation

The game has three mission systems: Terms for self-development, Trade Treaties for helping others, and Divine Missions for pursuing a larger goal. In moments of respite, you can meditate by entering your character’s mind, where you can encounter your thoughts or face your conscience. This system lets you shape how your character perceives the world.
