Elsewhere

Elsewhere is a sandbox crafting game about survival, exploration, quests, magic and long-term progression. You explore a large, procedurally generated and fully interactive world, starting with basic tools and advancing through medieval technology to fusion power and particle accelerators. You can follow the quest system or ignore it, build a base, experiment with different playstyles and automate resource gathering and processing.

Explore the world

The world has more than 70 biomes, including sub-biomes, rivers, oceans, cliffs, lakes, islands and ravines. Its landscapes contain caverns, ores, gems, oil deposits, varied plant life and animals. World types include Sky Islands and Evil Wasteland, and the game has a day-and-night cycle and changing weather.

You can explore ancient ruins, temples, castles and dungeons, where monsters, traps, treasure and bosses await. Naturally generated structures include mega-structures with powerful bosses and valuable loot. You can fight monsters, collect loot and craft minions, or meet characters such as Templar Adaephon, Fumblemore and Professor Grizwold and complete their tasks.

Build and progress

You can place and remove blocks, build castles and machines, and use pre-built bases and building templates. The game includes over 8,000 blocks, more than 7,000 recipes and about 400 quests. Gather and process resources, use machines and storage, farm and cook food, and brew potions. Automation can involve many connected elements, resources and processing steps.

Progression ranges from stone tools and water wheels to nuclear fusion and particle accelerators. Equipment includes tools, weapons, armor, backpacks, jetpacks, magical artifacts and explosives. Magic, transmutation and alchemy offer further ways to experiment, alongside farming, crafting and resource processing.

Creatures and activities

The world includes animals and animal husbandry, as well as monsters, bosses and craftable minions. You can also use decorative blocks and items, including arcade machines with mini-games. Character creation, pre-made skins, a mini-map, waypoints, world-editing tools and sandbox mode are also included.

Multiplayer and quests

Elsewhere supports LAN multiplayer. Its quests guide you through the game but do not have to be completed in order, or at all. Pre-built bases can include NPCs with their own quests.
