The Wild Eternal

The Wild Eternal is a first-person exploration game set in the early 1600s. You play as Ananta, an old woman who has fled a life of suffering to seek lasting peace in the Himalayan wilderness and escape the cycle of reincarnation. In a lush, deserted landscape covered in fog, a fox-shaped demigod offers to help her evade her fate in exchange for her help.

The wilderness

You explore the mystical wilderness together, travelling from clear vistas toward distant landmarks. The journey is intended as a meditative hike through a world of mystery, where you can encounter wild and sometimes dangerous creatures, each with a distinct personality. You have no way to attack them, so you must tread mindfully.

Artifacts and abilities

As you find your way through the fog, you discover ancient artifacts and unlock powerful abilities at hidden shrines.

Ananta’s past

The narrative follows Ananta as she seeks to escape reincarnation and uncover the truth about her past, healing its scars in the hope of avoiding an eternity of suffering. The game takes about 6–9 hours.
