The idle RPG Live alpha

Varath

An idle RPG built on a god's death. Mine, craft, fight and master the world of Varath — seventeen skills, a house, a business empire, and somewhere a charter.

Play in your browser Free in your browser, no install. It opens on the studio site, where its sign-in lives.

What it is

Varath is the one that came first, and it is the canon everything else in this world is generated from. It is an idle game in the Old School RuneScape and Melvor Idle tradition: you pick an action, it runs, and it keeps running while you are doing something else. What you are building is a character who can do everything, slowly, in whatever order you like.

There is no energy bar, no timer asking for money, and nothing in it is for sale. It installs as a web app on a phone and plays fine in a desktop browser.

What is in it

The shape of it.

Twelve gathering and crafting skills

Mining, Smithing, Forestry, Woodcraft, Fishing, Cooking, Farming, Survivalist, Herblore, Bounty, Construction and Crafting — each running its own action in parallel with the others.

Five combat skills

Vitality, Edge, Vigour, Ward and Draw. Weapons have a weakness — slash, stab or crush — and hitting it is worth 20% accuracy and 10% damage.

Two ways to die

Adventure loses you a tenth of your gold. Hardcore wipes the save. You choose once, at creation, and it is not changeable afterwards.

A house and twelve businesses

Construction gives you somewhere to put what you have earned; the businesses turn it back into income. Auto-eat is earned by upgrading the Hospital, not bought.

Expeditions and a collection log

Long-running trips that resolve while you are gone, and a log of everything the world can give you.

Early build

A homecoming by sea

Nostos

A Bronze Age sea, in pixels. Wash up a stranger, learn the coasts' tongues a word at a time, barter, fight and make your way. On a phone or a keyboard.

Early build

Alone on the Tern, with Rivet

Long Orbit

Earth is gone. You are a lone engineer, named by you, on the maintenance ship Tern, with Rivet, the ship's servant mind. Learn Sol first; the rest of the sky comes later.
