What is Animyst?

Animyst is a free-to-play MMO set in an open-world desert afterlife, where magic brings you back from the dead. As a skeleton warrior or embalmed corpse, you search for pages of an old book and craft spells and magical trinkets. You can build stone bases alongside your faction, fight creatures, or hunt rival players and attack their settlements.

For you if...

+you like dark fantasy worlds with cryptic lore to uncover
+you enjoy cooperative building as well as hunting rival players

Not for you if...

−you prefer tightly directed missions over wandering an open world
