Smalland: Survive the Wilds

Smalland: Survive the Wilds is an action adventure with RPG elements that offers a vast open world seen from the perspective of a tiny creature.

Hidden NPCs reveal lore and knowledge along the way, while weather and seasons constantly change.

Melee combat is included, and rivals can be captured with rope or iron shackles, then dragged along, locked in a cage or dungeon, put in the pillory or executed. Those who do not want to rule can instead roam the land as a freeman.
