Release date: 18/03/2026Awakeroots is a hand-drawn game created out of passion by two brothers - a programmer and an artist - set in a world inspired by Slavic folklore. You take on the role of settlers - pioneers on wild, mythical lands, where every day is a fight for survival. Build walls, workshops, and traps to protect your settlement from threats.
Cultivate the land, harvest crops, and feed your people before night falls. Both day and night, the world becomes hostile and dangerous, filled with mysteries and mythical creatures... Survive as long as you can.
- Explore wild lands, discovering resources, minerals, and plants used to craft potions, meals, weapons, traps, armor, and building materials. The deeper you venture into the wilderness, the higher the chance of encountering wandering travelers and traders offering exotic goods.
- Plant and harvest a wide variety of crops - berries, vegetables, grains, and cultivated plants that ensure your settlers’ survival, can be traded with merchants, and used to prepare nourishing meals.
- Start with nothing and build your settlement from the ground up. Create workshops and storage buildings, reinforce walls and fences, prepare traps, and protect your crops from animals and monsters.
- Face creatures from Slavic legends - Leshies, Rusalkas, Noonwraiths, Vodniks, and other dark beings inhabiting dense forests, as well as wild animals lurking in the wilderness.
- Explore the map and find wandering merchants who carry rare and unusual goods. Some items cannot be crafted on your own and are sometimes essential ingredients for creating unique equipment.
