You've found yourself in a shattered world. It is chaotic, isolated, and seemingly not made for habitation. Sometimes, you see other creatures or people - you're all stuck here together.  Some of these creatures carry strange messages from unknown sources. It all seems like nonsense, noise even. A story scattered across a broken world; A once-thriving society reduced to countless scattered wanderers Will you find allies in this new chaotic void? Or will you plunder it for your own purposes? (Try to) find scattered denizens of a chaotic world. Watch them interact, testing chaotic and unpredictable skills and abilities - not all of them useful or helpful... without some creativity. Physics based, highly vertical traversal - some adventurers might be able to fly, glide, dash multiple times through the air, or run and jump off of walls. You need to be able to do that much to get around this world. Equipment Slots? Inventory Management? Crafting? Skill trees? Levels? Drops? Explore a unique character progression system that throws everything you know out of the window - things may seem simple at first glance, but your growth can be a puzzle in itself. Some creatures throughout the world seem to have been infused with something outside of themselves... Collapsing World Guild Master is a vehicle for prose - a message from a denizen of a different place than our own - scattered, corrupted, and deeply embedded into an artificial world. It's also an endless action-sandbox with physics-based combat and many modes of traversal. Piece together the story of the world you are in, written by hand by one of the characters trapped within it, but hidden away, so as not to be discovered or lost by those who do not seek it.  Features (Early Access) 3D Platforming, where you can run, jump, wallrun, glide, and dash your way between objectives. An infinite, procedurally generated world, that slowly becomes stranger the further you explore. A limited slot-based equipment, inventory, and skill system. Found a creature that is REALLY good at jumping? Subdue them and wear them as a backpack for some of that ability. Someone keeps teleporting away whenever you approach them? Wear them out and equip them on your arm, and now you can use their skill too! Very gradual leveling and experience, that is unique in every playthrough - every character in the world can level and grow, and they all grow in a unique way.  Decrypt messages and chapters of a story that you find scattered throughout the world. Encrypt your own messages.  A novel's worth of story - and growing - hidden in encrypted data, for you to piece together like a puzzle. Secret unlockable powers you can use to make your journey easier! Features (Planned) Set up a home base within the collapsing world, build training courses and tests with your own objectives, and gather a group of adventurers to explore the world for you. Manage relationships with and between the different creatures you encounter. Design and manufacture standard 'equipment' for your adventurers, and give them quests to find the resources needed for you to provide it to them. Be called out on missions to rescue adventurers in emergencies, or even ones that have already fallen. Discover the nature of the world, your own history, and decide what you want for the future.
