Über Sumeru Divine Endeavor
A companion on your desktop. An immortal world to lose yourself in.
Sumeru Divine Endeavor is a cultivation game about the pursuit of immortality, offering varied activities and deep progression without demanding constant input.
We wanted to find a more relaxed way to play, somewhere between exhausting micromanagement and simply waiting for progress. When life gets busy, the game needs little attention; when you have time to spare, meaningful choices and discoveries await. Enjoy the freedom of playing on your own, while crossing paths with other players who bring companionship to your journey.
Manage a sect, nurture disciples, study cultivation manuals, and collect rare treasures. Or take the demonic path, devoting everything to your Sect Leader's own advancement. In this world, the path you follow is yours to choose.
A Desktop Companion, a World to Immerse Yourself In
Give this world of cultivation a corner of your desktop, and let the daily life of your sect accompany your work, study, and rest. Focus on what you need to do, then return when you have a moment to check on progress, make plans, and enjoy the growth you've built little by little.
When you're ready for a longer session, switch to immersive mode. Take in your domain, tend to cultivation and management, follow the relationships between its people, and explore more of what the game has to offer.
A brief break or an evening of focused play can both become part of your immortal journey.
Raise a Sect, or Pursue Your Own Ascension
Become a dedicated Sect Leader: recruit disciples, guide them according to their talents, and equip them with cultivation manuals and gear. Build a sect filled with capable cultivators, and enjoy the satisfaction of watching your disciples flourish and your teachings endure.
Or focus on the Sect Leader alone, pursuing your own cultivation and power, even taking the demonic path of refining people into elixirs and commanding corpse puppets. Your disciples' growth and your sect's prosperity need not be your only ambitions.
Forbidden arts carry consequences. Demonic deeds accumulate Evil and draw the wrath of the Righteous Alliance. How you gain your power will shape the reckoning you must face.
Will you shelter an entire sect, or dedicate everything to one cultivator's rise? The choice is yours.
A Wealth of Characters, Spirit Beasts, and Rare Treasures
We've filled this cultivation world with a vast array of characters, Spirit Beasts, Artifacts, and Divine Weapons, each with its own appearance and character, alongside a rich selection of Cultivation Manuals and Immortal Arts. Collecting, nurturing, and finding combinations can become lasting pleasures of their own.
Meet new people, seek out your favorite Spirit Beasts, gather Artifacts and Divine Weapons that suit your needs, and study the ways of cultivation. As you advance through the Realms and gain experience, a wider world will open before you.
If you love characters, explore their histories and relationships. If you love collecting, steadily build your trove. If you enjoy experimenting, spend your time shaping progression and assembling combat combinations.
Every new encounter and every rare find could be the beginning of your next chapter.
Practice the Arts of Cultivation, Build a Domain of Your Own
The pleasures of cultivation also lie in everyday life.
Develop your domain, grow spiritual plants, fish for spirit fish, and refine elixirs to build your sect's resources. Put the fruits of that work into character growth, equipment, and new expeditions, connecting each pursuit to the next.
Think carefully about every resource, or begin with the activities you enjoy most. Tend the herb garden today, study a cultivation manual tomorrow, and venture into a secret realm when you have time.
With patient care, the world before you will come to bear your mark.
Fellow Cultivators, Friendships, and Feuds
Beyond your own domain lie sects led by other players.
Exchange messages by flying sword, send gifts to fellow cultivators, or issue a friendly sparring challenge with Spirit Stones as the stakes. Give the disciples you've nurtured and the equipment you've carefully prepared a chance to shine against a fellow cultivator's champions.
For those willing to take greater risks, there are stealthy thefts and sect raids. Send disciples into another player's domain or confront a rival sect directly. Such ventures may bring spoils, but they can also cost lives and possessions. A single attack may spark a feud and a future act of revenge.
Will you be friends exchanging favors, or rivals unwilling to yield? The interactions between players help write this world's stories.
Names to Remember, Stories to Care About
Characters have histories of their own, as well as relationships and shared pasts.
Through conversations, letters, and their reactions to what happens to others, you'll gradually come to know the people who live in your sect. Some are dependable, some are driven by deeply held obsessions, and some will change their attitude toward you because of your decisions.
How you treat them, and the path you choose to follow, will give these bonds different meanings. Some may stay by your side; others may part ways with you.
Across the passing years, alongside the Realms you've reached and the treasures you've gathered, there will be names worth remembering.
Your Pace, Your Path to Immortality
We want Sumeru Divine Endeavor to be easy to keep company with, and rewarding to devote your attention to.
If you enjoy management, build your sect at your own pace. If you seek growth, study the cultivation of your Sect Leader and disciples. If you love collecting, search for Spirit Beasts and rare treasures. If you enjoy meeting others, find fellow travelers along the immortal path.
There is plenty to look forward to, without the need for constant input.
A corner of your desktop can hold an entire world. A moment of free time can become another step on your immortal journey.
