Early prototype
Today you can see the first valley and test the direction of the painted 2.5D art, exploration and written dialogue.
MMORPG in development • dark fantasy • survival
Unknown World
You wake in a stone circle, surrounded by an unfamiliar forest. We are building a demanding MMORPG with survival elements, where players will rebuild settlements, chart routes and uncover the world's history. AI is intended to create local adventures and events spanning entire regions — within the rules and consequences of a shared world.
Early prototype. Multiplayer and AI systems are in development.

Unknown World
A shared history shaped by action.
CRPG.ai is being built as a demanding dark fantasy MMORPG. It aims to reward preparation, character skills, decisions and cooperation, while a persistent world remembers their consequences.
Project direction
Hardcore role-playing
Success should come from preparation, developed skills, choices and cooperation. The final combat model has not been chosen yet.
In development
A persistent online world
Multiplayer, an authoritative server and AI systems are in development. The prototype is not yet an open world for many players.
Target game — systems in development
A world that remembers.
The systems below describe the intended direction of the game. They are not yet a complete set of working prototype features.
One shared, persistent world
Players will rebuild the inn, stable, bridge and harbour, and later a bank and post office. The world chronicle will preserve the names of the actual builders and explorers. The origin of Unknown World will remain a mystery uncovered through play.
Survival and consequences
Supplies, tools, rest, weather, dangers after dark, hunting and dressing animals are intended to matter. After death, everything carried will remain with the body and the character will awaken naked in the Circle. The innkeeper will provide free rags and a drink; limited storage at the inn will protect part of a player's belongings.
The undead
Night is intended to change the world, not merely the colour of the sky. Bodies left intact, uneaten and undressed may rise as zombies at midnight — including a player's body with the items left on it. Defeated zombies may later rise as skeletons. These changes follow the persistent state of the world.
Progression without character levels
Characters will develop attributes and skills through practice, study, trainers, discoveries and meaningful actions. Statistics will be described in words. A profession will define specialisation and access to techniques, without becoming a traditional class that gains levels.
AI as Game Master
AI is planned to create local quests for characters and parties, regional and world-spanning events, dialogue informed by character memory, and consequences consistent with the current world state. Hits, physics, item ownership and the economy will be resolved by authoritative server rules, not by the AI model alone.
AI hirelings
Not every hireling will agree with your decisions. We are planning AI companions with a profession and skills, their own character, views, relationship memories, fears, personal goals and limits to their loyalty. They may object or leave; they are not intended to replace real players or be required to play.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is CRPG.ai?
A demanding dark fantasy MMORPG in development, with survival elements, a persistent world and planned AI systems. An early local prototype exists today.
Will it be an MMORPG?
Yes — that is the target direction. True multiplayer and the shared authoritative server are still in development.
Will the game work on phones and computers?
The project is web-first and is intended for phones and computers. Early tests cover both device types, but final requirements have not been set.
What works in the current prototype?
The first valley, painted 2.5D presentation, written dialogue, and experiments with exploration, movement, time, weather and creatures.
What are the consequences of death?
In the planned system, carried items will remain with the body and the character will awaken naked in the Circle. Basic rags and a drink will be provided, while limited storage will let players secure part of their belongings beforehand.
Who will the AI hirelings be?
Planned companions with professions, skills, personalities, memories and goals of their own. They may object to a player's decision or leave.
Will AI features be paid?
Yes. An active AI package is intended to provide hireling features for its duration. Shorter contracts paid with gold earned in the world are also being considered. Prices, limits and terms have not been announced.
