Players must vanquish punishing bosses, build grand halls, and upgrade their hero to withstand the mist and uncover the secrets of the kingdom’s downfall.

Enshrouded is set in a decaying world of magic and beauty, ruined by a pestilence unleashed from the depths of the earth. Roaming and ravaging the land are the mutated remnants of its fallen people — driven to madness and controlled by the fog. But above the mists and hidden deep in ancient temples, warriors from a forgotten age sleep, dreamless and impervious to time.

Players awaken as "Flameborn", the last hope of an ancient civilization. Guided by nothing but a latent arcane power in their veins, they must hunt, gather, and craft to unleash their power and untangle the secrets of a ruined realm of epic beauty. To unlock truth, treasure, and wisdom, the player must venture into the lush forests, unyielding deserts, deep fissures, and lost dungeons of the land.

But set against them is the Shroud, a creeping blight that absorbs and mutates all life it encounters. To push back the Shroud, the Flameborn must ascend a deep open skill tree to master powerful weapons, spells, and armor — developing their own unique playstyle to withstand warring factions of fell creatures, and conquer merciless bosses in heart-pounding combat.

To protect themselves from the fog and bring life back to the kingdom, players can shape the world's terrain and unleash their creativity to build bases and epic homes, customized to the last detail with a vast array of materials and furniture. Beyond showcasing treasure, powerful NPCs can be awakened, unlocking advanced workshops and the ability to craft unique items and mythic weapons.

Currently available through Early Access on Steam, developer Keen Games revealed Sparkworks - a new suite of creator tools expanding Enshrouded's Adventure Sharing feature at 1.0 launch. Sparkworks gives players the ability to design, build and share their own adventures with the community, with the tools evolving continuously based on player feedback.

Sparkworks: what is it and how will it work?

Sparkworks is the nifty name for the family of interactive functions players can utilize to make their worlds truly playable, not just viewable, for Flameborn passing through using Adventure Sharing. The plethora of mechanics may be familiar to those who have played other customizable world-sharing games — for example, where mining, crafting, dreaming, big and little planet exploring, and more can be built and shared globally. Essentially, Sparkworks allows players to become designers of their own mini-games, dungeons, or creative experiences within their version of Embervale, where a lever might spawn an enemy, or a pressure-sensitive bit of floor opens a secret hallway, or walking into a room labeled “DO NOT ENTER, RISK OF EXPLOSION” immediately sets off a chain reaction of explosions, to name a few potential scenarios. The Adventure Sharing with Sparkworks video explains how Sparkworks will integrate into the building experience and how it intersects with Adventure Sharing in much more detail. 

Adventure Sharing is Caring

Adventure Sharing is the in-game ability to upload a player’s rendition of Embervale for fellow players to discover and visit. Adventure Sharing is permitting Players to explore a variety of community-created experiences safely and efficiently. From the in-game menu, players can browse through Popular Adventures, use the tags to find an Adventure that fits their mood, use Share Codes to find specific Adventures, even subscribe to their favourite Worlds to keep up with their Adventures as they appear. When Adventure Sharing was first introduced in the Forging the Path update this past April, the intention was to increase interactivity through tools and mechanics that let players truly set their creativity alight, which evolved into Sparkworks.

Adventure Sharing and Sparkworks at Launch:

• Adventure Sharing, the in-game world-sharing function, is being updated in time for launch and will include Sparkworks.
• Sparkworks is a group of tools that let players further customize their bases, environments, and items, making them more interactive and if shared for players visiting their world through Adventure Sharing. Players can:
  • Build Switchboxes
  • Use the Sparkworks Tool to connect Switchboxes to trigger zones, levers, buttons, and other interactions into events or surprises
  • Use the Sparkworks Tool’s operators like clocks, blocks, and logic gates (NOT, OR, etc.) to activate your desired outcome after a condition has been met
  • Create desired outcomes such as environmental events like a lightning strike or water releasing, instances like an enemy spawning, or a trap door opening… the possibilities are virtually endless.
  • Make the interactivity within their world as simple or as complex as they wish.

Key Features:

• THE SECRETS OF A FALLEN REALM: Journey across its diverse biomes, from the sun-scorched Kindlewastes to the shadowed depths of The Revelwood, to uncover the remnants of lost cultures and forgotten myths.
• BEST IN CLASS BUILDING SYSTEM: Bring life back to the land with powerful voxel building tools. Create grand structures, customize every detail, and shelter NPCs who unlock workshops and the means to craft epic gear.

• SURVIVAL IN THE SHROUD: Scavenge the ruins, battle the wilds, and grow strong enough to face the horrors within the Shroud.
• HEART POUNDING ACTION COMBAT: Battle corrupted factions and deadly bosses twisted by the Shroud. Dodge, parry, and unleash powerful skills and spells while you forge your own combat style as a Wizard, Ranger, or Warrior.
• CRAFTING GEAR WORTHY OF LEGENDS: Craft and upgrade legendary weapons and armor. Expand your skills to master sword, shield, staff, and bow and stand against the Shroud.
