What is Underlight?

Underlight is a free-to-play MMORPG set in a shared dream city, with first-person, real-time combat. You fight nightmare creatures, duel other players, and learn magic from player teachers who assign tasks before training you. There is no predetermined path or fixed endgame.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy strict roleplaying and staying in character

Not for you if...

  • −you expect modern graphics rather than retro sprites
  • −you prefer scripted quests over negotiating with other players
