Store Page Description
Venture into a surreal, post-apocalyptic fantasy while experiencing Witherbloom's unique combination of Survival-RPG and Dungeon Crawling. The world has been shattered, and its up to you to rebuild something meaningful... if you can survive.
Explore otherworldly labyrinthine dungeons
Enter the twisted realms of Ingenuity, Harmony, and Passion – the abandoned domains of absent gods. Gather loot, resources, survivors, and answers. But weigh your choices and decide when to retreat with your spoils. If you delve too deep for too long... death and worse will find you.
Endure a challenging mix of combat and survival
Plunder what you can while using your unique combat abilities to overcome the twisted aberrations that haunt these mysterious places; delve deeper using your survival abilities to succeed against the elements, hunger, injury, exhaustion, and the mysterious Withering. In Witherbloom, survival is not a marathon - each dungeon run is a survival-challenge, requiring careful planning and skill to overcome.
Forge a fresh start
Build a dynamic Hub with the NPCs and rewards you gather. Forge relationships and make hard choices about whom and what you will invest in. Improve your Hub, equipment, what you can craft, and what the characters in your Hub can do - all while you level up your own abilities across each run.
Choose your path with a new take on dual-classing
Combine a robust combat class with a dynamic survival class. There are 16 distinct dual-class combinations - including the Overseer, Ritualist, Guerrilla, and Predator – each with their own unique skill trees and utilities!
Rebuild a community - alone or with friends
Brave the dangers of Witherbloom alone, or experience its unique take on multiplayer-survival with up to four friends. Coordinate your survival and combat skills to overcome the dangers of the world as you forge your community.
Uncover meaning in a strange world shrouded in mystery
Witherbloom offers a beautiful and vibrant world unlike anything you have seen before. Its hand-crafted-levels, creatures, and items are inspired by frightening – and hopeful – psychological phenomenon. The deeper you delve, the more rewards, challenges, and mysteries you will uncover.
What awaits you within the deepest recesses of these forsaken places? Why did the gods abandon creation? What kind of society can you build when the entire world has lost meaning? Luxurious questions, if you survive to ask them.
