About Theden

While this world may lack the normal human problems of hunger, fatigue, and death, it's not without its own set of issues. The world's inhabitants, Zens, constantly fight and bicker, forming clubs and factions as they strive against each other for wealth, power, and influence. The worst of these is The Engineer, a madwoman hidden away in the distant Sky Castle, who stirs up conflict with her army of Constructs, noisy mechanical beings that belch smoke and keep everyone from getting any rest.Arm yourself against The Engineer's machinations by leveling 8 character classes with distinct abilities as you fight your way through both her Constructs and the natural inhabitants of the world, Abstractimals. Gain new powers through hundreds of weapons, armor, pets, artifacts, and consumable items. Make friends and gather Companions to buff yourself as you head toward Sky Castle and your final showdown with The Engineer.Unique Features

I didn't really know what to expect from this game. I'm not a big gamer or anything, but the trailer looked interesting enough. I really like the look of the game. It's like craft paper looking. Seems like it took a lot of time to create it. I always appreciate that. It's really easy to jump into. Like I said, I don't play tons of games, but this was easy to get a hang of the controls and I liked all the different options you get for character creation as well as different things within the game. I also like the game's animations when you do different actions. lol. I think the creatures are cute and creative. The whole game is actually really creative. The vibe is even kinda cozy feeling. The music and the visuals just make it nice to play. If you're scrolling through Steam looking to play something interesting and fun then I definitely suggest giving this game a try.

A nice simple side scrolling type of game with lots of play ability. you can play as 8 classes switching freely between classes. there are quests and crafting. and places to explore. Great for just passing time and having fun.

I love it! I love the music. I love the vibes. I love the reputation systems. I love the scraps system always giving you something per kill. I love the random things like becoming an expert at killing certain things. I love the RNG on the gear adding to the replayability. I love the quest system. I love that it zooms in when you stand there a few seconds, allowing you to see the hand crafted textures more with more detail. I love the creative naming of the mobs. I love the random monster surges when killing them. I love the system of being all classes in one, but having different specialized gear for each. There's honestly so much to love about this game. I fully recommend it to anyone!

I have played the game for a couple hours and it has unfolded into a more complex game first I was destroying things then I learned I could change the difficulty on the fly, I have continued on normal so far seeing I could play different classes. So far I have the nurse set to heal me up as I bumble around as an engineer unable to access the other classes but after a bit I was able and it unfolded even more. I am starting to build factions up but then I realized that might lower others. I have not crafted yet but I am slowly unfolding this piece of paper and finding a world that is lingering in my thoughts long after I finished each session of playing the game. I will continue to explore it with a smile!
