'Book of Travels' Early Access Launch Delayed Until Further Notice

by Rainier on Aug. 24, 2021 @ 3:45 p.m. PDT

Craft a character with its own unique personality, and explore the open land however you choose as you venture out into a living, breathing fairytale world.

Book of Travels is a deep role-playing experience with "living painting" visuals. Players can explore the mysterious world of Braided Shore, a place where kindness is as valuable as skill with a sword.

This Tiny Multiplayer Online RPG (TMORPG) has been in development for four years and is the studio's most ambitious game to date. More than 7,000 backers contributed over $300,000 dollars to make Book of Travels the most successful Swedish Kickstarter campaign for a computer game ever.

Express Yourself With Engaging Roleplay

Immersion is a central element of the Book of Travels experience and a key part of is detailed character design. Players are able to craft unique characters whose personalities will shape their in-game story and lay the foundation for their roleplay adventure. Will your character be caring? Messy? Passionate? Maybe even a fussy eater? Once created, your character becomes a traveler who is new to the land of Braided Shore, and they're free to explore, have encounters, and shape their own adventure.

Originally planned for Aug. 9, 2021, then pushed until August 30th, the Book of Travels developers have delayed the Steam Early Access until further notice.

"After feedback from our Beta Testers, we’ve decided that more time is needed to stabilize our upcoming online RPG Book of Travels

Might and Delight believes in working together to create games, and that extends to our beta testers. Thanks to their feedback we have realized Book of Travels isn’t where we want it to be quite yet. We want to deliver an early access game we can stand for, and hence we have made the decision to delay once again. The team is now hard at work on stabilizing the game. 

We understand how disappointing it is to those who had their heart set on playing Book of Travels and exploring Braided Shore soon. Even so, we have decided not to give a new date yet. We will announce the time of release when we're fully confident that we can hit it.

We hope for your understanding and patience and that, when a new date is set, you will join us to travel and create your own stories in Book of Travels."

An Enchanting World With Darkness at Its Edges

Book of Travels is inspired by the kinds of art, animation, and literature that depict worlds both dark and beautiful. Rendered in exquisite, hand-painted scenery, this is a world that is enchanting to explore - but it's not without the occasional sinister encounter. Enjoy the safety of well trodden paths, but stray into the beauty of the wilds and you may find troubles lurking…

Fewer Players, Stronger Connections

Book of Travels is a TMORPG - A Tiny Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game. This is a riff on the usual MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) and in play terms, it means a very different way to share experiences with others in the game. With fewer players available to meet in the game world, connecting with others will be a very special part of the story experience. You will get a whole world to discover with the potential for intimate, unforgettable encounters with other players along the way.
