What is Mirthwood?

This single-player RPG and life sim takes place in an open medieval fantasy world, where you start over after fleeing a continent at war. You manage a homestead, grow crops, raise animals, craft gear, trade goods, meet townsfolk, take quests, and fight with swords or bows.

For you if...

+you like setting your own pace in fantasy sandboxes
+you enjoy a storybook look with darker themes

Not for you if...

−you want a combat-focused RPG without farm management
−you prefer linear levels to open-world exploration
