☵ HIRAETH runs smoothly on most modern computers, but it uses advanced NextGen lighting and rendering techniques that may cause stability issues on certain hardware configurations. Importantly — these issues do not affect older GPUs or CPUs, but rather specific series of graphics cards and processors, regardless of their generation. Such cases are rare, but it's worth verifying before purchase. To ensure the game runs properly on your system, launch the free DEMO — it's technically identical to the full version of HIRAETH. If the free DEMO runs stably, you can confidently proceed with the Early Access version. More details and player reports are available on our Discord.  Discover ☵ HIRAETH - A gripping sci-fi survival experience where you awaken on the forsaken planet Ahra Prime .

Remember, on Ahra Prime,  'wise men speak, and fools decide.' Which will you be? WHY SINGLE PLAYER? Advantages Of Single Player Games Over Multiplayer: ✅ Engaging Storyline:  Single player games often offer deeper and more complex narratives that can provide emotional experiences. ✅ No Dependency on Others:  You don't have to wait for other players or worry about their skills or behavior. The game progresses at your own pace. ✅ Full Control:  You have complete control over the gameplay, allowing you to explore the game's world and uncover its secrets at your own pace. ✅ No Connection Issues:  No need for a stable internet connection, meaning you can play anytime, anywhere. ✅ Personalized Experience:  Single player games often offer greater opportunities for personalization and individual approaches to gameplay. ✅ Achievements and Challenges:  Focus on individual achievements and challenges, which can be satisfying to accomplish. ✅ Peace and Quiet:  No risk of harassment or toxic behavior from other players. ✅ Slower Aging of the Game:  Single player games age more slowly, as players are willing to return to them even after many years. Multiplayer games typically have a shorter lifespan, dependent on community activity. WHY HIRAETH STANDS OUT Many survival games follow a familiar formula: chop trees, build structures, craft, and survive. Hiraeth breaks this mold by offering a unique and immersive survival experience that keeps the fun and flow intact. ✅ Innovative Survival Mechanics: Eat, Drink, Rest, Heal, Recharge, Manage Oxygen. Always monitor your EVA Suit's air supply. Manage and maintain gear and health. ✅ Four Difficulty Levels: Wayfarer:  Easy, focus on story. Drifter:  Normal, balanced challenge.
