Waidh

Waidh is a survival game about an amnesiac who wakes alone in a small camp in an endless jungle. You search the camp for useful supplies, then explore, gather resources and try to survive the elements and the animals that roam the jungle while seeking an answer to why you are there.

Explore the jungle

The world is generated from a seed as you travel, so it is endless. You can choose a seed at the start or let the game pick one at random. Dynamic day and night cycles and a weather system shape your journey. The jungle contains ancient ruins and structures, towering old trees and abandoned buildings, while wild animals and predators hunt to stay at the top of the food chain. A secret relic of the ancient jungle offers a way to bridge distances.

Survive and build

You look for food and drink, collect resources, find or craft tools and weapons, defend yourself from animals and build a primitive base. Some resources require specific tools to harvest, while others can be gathered by hand. Most weapons and tools can be crafted, while some can be found in abandoned buildings. More complex items can require processed materials, such as turning raw iron into an iron ingot.

You can dismantle modular abandoned buildings part by part and carry their pieces away to use in your own base. You can also craft structural elements from gathered resources. Craftable and found storage structures let you store items; found structures can be picked up and placed elsewhere.

Progress and inventory

Crafting, farming and killing earn experience automatically. When you level up, you receive stat points to spend on abilities such as stamina, health, speed and inventory slots. Your character has a main backpack, which you can expand with stat points, and a hotbar called the pocket.

Character and difficulty

You can choose a male or female character. The choice will affect the story as it develops, though the reason for the choice is not yet revealed. Difficulty affects aspects of world generation, including the amount, quality and rarity of loot and the enemy spawn rate.

In Hardcore mode, you can permanently lose the contents of your backpack and pocket, and you are teleported back to the start of your journey. Some jungle animals, especially predators, are faster than you, so running may not always be an option.
