Über Aubelys
Build by day. Survive the night. Together or against each other.
You arrive with nothing but your fists and a forest full of wood, stone, and gold. By daylight you gather, build, and grow. When the sun sets, darklings crawl out of their portals to tear down everything you've made. Every night the assault grows, until you start fighting back.
Play Your Way
- Solo : build, survive, and hunt the Dark Lord at your own pace.
- Online Co-op (PvE) : team up with up to 4 players to share a town, split the labor, and hold the walls against the horde.
- Online PvP : start your own settlements and race, raid, and outlast rival players for control of the map.
- Local Split-Screen : grab a friend on the couch for two-player co-op or head-to-head PvP on one screen.
Raise a Settlement
- Five tiers of buildings : start with a humble house and palisade, climb through farms, mines, towers, and strongholds, all the way to mage towers, castles and dragon's nests.
- Radial build & interact wheels : place structures, upgrade them, and craft tools right in the world.
- Walls & palisades : fortify your town with straight runs and corners to slow the horde.
Recruit & Specialize Villagers
- Turn idle villagers into lumberjacks, miners, farmers, builders, hunters, militia, knights and mages.
- Workers gather, build, repair, and fight — the more hands on a project, the faster it evolves.
- Balance food, labor, and defense as your population grows.
Fight the Dark
- Punch, chop, mine, shoot arrows, and cast spells — the game auto-selects the right weapon for the target.
- A deep damage system of blunt, pierce, fence, fire, ice, lightning, and poison, with counters that matter.
- Darklings unlock new weapons and spells over time — hesitate and the nightly raids escalate.
Explore & Expand
- Deplete local resources and strike out to found new specialized towns around rare deposits.
- Clear the portals threatening your settlements and connect your towns with trading posts.
- Visibility shifts with time and terrain — clearings, forests, and caves each reveal or hide the world.
- Venture into the unknown : brave dark caves and dungeons, and face off against fearsome creatures guarding their depths.
Effortless to Play, Endlessly Deep
- No cluttered HUD, no menu maze : the world is the interface. What you see is what you play.
- One action button drives everything: gather, build, craft, recruit, and fight, all from a single intuitive control.
- No two runs alike : procedurally generated maps, depleting resources, shifting portals, villager choices, and each night's escalating raids make every session play out differently.
The Long Road to the Dark Lord
