The HinterLands

The HinterLands is a multiplayer, side-scrolling sandbox survival game. You arrive with a few tools and torches, then gather materials, build shelter, craft items and hunt to survive. You can explore and build cooperatively or compete with friends and other players.

Explore and build

The game’s procedurally generated worlds have randomly generated terrain and dynamic day and night cycles. You mine the terrain for resources, craft blocks and items, and use them to build structures. You can harvest plants and trees for food, potions or seeds to grow forests, and hunt or destroy mobs for food to satisfy your hunger.

Movement and combat

Parkour-style movement lets you run up walls, flip, climb ledges, slide under obstacles and wall-kick or jump between walls. Combat includes fast combos, slower strong attacks and blocks against incoming enemy strikes. Creative mode gives you unlimited blocks and prevents you from taking damage.

Multiplayer

You can play on free public servers, with friends over LAN, or in single-player. Multiplayer supports cooperative exploration and building as well as player-versus-player combat, including battles with swords, crossbows and guns.

Current and planned content

The game is a work in progress. Planned additions include NPCs who can give quests, buy and trade items, and be married to start a family; more advanced crafting for items, armor and weapons; bosses, more mobs and biomes; and pets that can join you on quests and in combat, as well as mounts. Planned player-versus-player modes include free-for-all, capture the flag, team play with different classes, and tower defense with creeps and towers. Craftable vehicles, space travel and permanent worlds on servers are also planned.
