Coming from developer CyancookGames, Of Peaks and Tides is a new open-world crafting survival game coming to Steam soon.
The game weaves Eastern Mythology into a vast, living world, powered by an intuitive physics system and reacting to every touch. Emergent gameplay lets your choices spark unexpected consequences. From chaos come opportunities: shifting seasons, unpredictable weather, and calamities demand smart, responsive choices.
A similar approach can be adapted for battles. When faced with a powerful opponent, how will you fight them? Charge head-on, or leverage your environment? Will you set everything on fire, flood the battlefield, lay traps, or stir their hatred to turn enemies against each other in chaos?
Tame wild creatures, build bonds, and turn them into your most loyal partners. Clear land, adapt to the world, and raise life from the forest, soil, and everything in between. Build a home to anchor your survival.
“As Nolands, you awaken in the depths of Lushland. Once, under the blessing of the deities, your forebears forged a once-resplendent civilization—an era of wondrous crafts and countless creations. But all was torn asunder in the great War between Heaven and Man, when mountains crumbled and seas were split apart.
Now, divine relics lie in ruins, and the glory of the old world has turned to ash. Only the shattered Ascent remains, silently watching over the fading embers of what once was. Wind, thunder, water, and flame—forces once wielded by the deities—have become calamities, scouring the land. Unique beasts now roam unchecked, and natural order has descended into chaos.”
