Edward's Journey

Edward's Journey is a single-player, 3D top-down action-adventure RPG. You play as Edward, a boy who lives in an isolated village with his gram and little sister. When his sister goes missing, his gram sends him out to find her. Edward has never left the village and must learn to fight as he explores a large world, uncovers its dangers and searches for his sister.

Explore the world

The hand-crafted fantasy world contains several large maps, each with dungeons, caves and other areas to explore. Some dungeons are randomly generated. You can reach more areas as you find certain items or solve puzzles, and may need to return to places later when you have the item needed to continue. Teleporters can be unlocked in parts of the world for quicker travel.

You can meet NPCs who may help you after you help them, as well as merchants with different stock. Their goods include crafting materials and specialized items.

Build your combat skills

Edward starts with basic swinging attacks and learns more as he levels up or finds an NPC trainer. His weapons are sticks, which you can modify with items found or earned in the world. Nails add damage, monster spines add damage, and a bee's abdomen adds poison damage over time. A stick has one main weapon slot and can have up to two additional slots for equipment stones, which improve Edward's stats.

Magic runes let sticks fire magical bursts. A fire rune shoots fireballs and inflicts fire damage over time; an ice rune briefly freezes an enemy and also deals damage over time. You can equip runes on a stick or place them on the action bar, where they deal area damage around Edward. Using runes costs magic points (MP). If Edward runs out of MP, a rune on his weapon no longer provides a ranged attack, though it still deals damage over time when he hits an enemy at close range.

Edward can wear helmets and shields, each with up to three equipment slots. Raising an equipped shield blocks a percentage of incoming damage. He can also dash to evade attacks; dashes and more powerful attacks use stamina.

Craft and find supplies

Edward can craft many items. Potions and food require a cauldron, while many other items can be made anywhere if he has the required materials. Most helmets and shields must be crafted. Recipes found in the world are added to his crafting window, but you can also craft an item without its recipe if you work it out through experimentation.

Fishing is possible in nearly every body of water. Edward first needs to craft a rod and dig up worms for bait. Fish can be turned into soup at a cauldron; the soup restores magic points over time. Fishing can also yield jewels, health hearts and other crafting items.

Treasure maps found throughout the world contain clues to buried treasure. At the correct location, a large X appears on the ground. You need a crafted shovel to dig, and can dig in most places to uncover whatever lies beneath, often worms.

Find helpful pets

Pets found throughout the world can help Edward while summoned. Depending on the pet, it may produce health hearts, find jewels, help replenish his magic or damage nearby monsters.
