Beyond the Map

 
Shipwrecked at the edge of the known world
Beyond the Map drops a lone survivor into a hostile, procedural frontier and lets grit do the talking. You rebuild from driftwood to fortress, carve skill paths without classes, and chase better gear through dungeons that don’t play nice. It’s survival with ARPG teeth, tuned for short bursts or long hauls.
How it plays
The loop pivots between open‑world survival and instanced combat. Forage, fish, and farm to stabilize a base. Then hunt dungeons for randomized loot, rare spellbooks, and crafting mats that push builds forward. No classes here—skills level through use, while abilities unlock from discovered tomes. Biomes roll in bands, each with its own enemies, resources, and weather quirks. Build flow matters: better workshops and stations turn junk into kit, then into routes that bully bosses instead of trading hits.
Key features

Survival meets ARPG: Food, weather, and stamina outside; tight, pattern‑led fights inside dungeons.
Class‑free builds: Level skills by doing; slot abilities from rare books to define playstyle.
Procedural world: Handcrafted rooms shuffled into biomes with unique hazards and loot tables.
Base building: Walls, farms, smelters, and workbenches that scale into real production chains.
Loot chase: Affix‑style gear with rolls that matter; craft to fill gaps, not replace drops.
Co‑op option: Explore and clear dungeons as a team; share stations, split roles, route faster.
