A rough pixel continent spreads out with forests, islands, and mountain ridges that all push back in their own way. You scrape together tools, put up a small shelter, and slowly test how far you can travel before the world starts testing you instead.
Deeper zones shift the temperature fast—tight dungeons, collapsing corridors, and oversized creatures guarding scraps of old treasure. The loop stays simple but steady: survive, craft, explore, and decide how much risk your next step is worth.
