Hermit Demo

Hermit is a passion project created by a solo developer. The world is packed with one-off tailored quests, experiences, locations, and content. Nothing in the game is procedurally generated or made with AI.

An order of outcast mages, exiled for their atrocities and living alone in the wilderness, once pursued a powerful secret that threatens to upend the balance of power across the content. Now they're being murdered, and one must venture across the mainland - exploring ancient ruins and mysterious realms - to uncover the terrible truth they left behind.

Hermit is a Hardcore Open World Action RPG set in a vast medieval fantasy world.

• Explore deep dungeons, caves, swamps, catacombs, forests, and mountains as you travel the continent visiting new biomes, doing quests, and uncovering the secrets of the Order of Hermits.

• Explore at your own pace, day or night, and meet unique characters as you hunt for knowledge, power, and purpose.

Choose your own approach to gameplay. Quests and character progression can often be done in multiple ways. Progression paths are flexible and often offer multiple solutions.

Exploration, Crafting, Gathering, Trading, Combat & Magic are all deeply interwoven mechanics. Resources are scattered throughout the world and can be obtained in different ways, encouraging you to venture out and explore. Collect important resources such as ancient artifacts, herbs and spices, toxins, metals, and more.

• Dynamic World: Time of day, weather, and seasons all affect gameplay. Harvest in-season crops or leverage the current weather to make your spells more powerful.

• Choose your Combat Style: Weapon choices matter. Enemies have different vulnerabilities and weapons have different strengths. Target damage types against your foes’ weaknesses, or deal less-specific damage and leverage bleeding, fractures, or toxins instead. Some melee weapons can be rotated in the hand to immediately change damage types during combat.

Forge your own path—from humble peasant to legendary warrior or Hermit. Customize your character’s look, upgrade your home, and shape the world through your actions. Whether you prefer crafting, combat, or exploration, your journey is yours to define. Diverse weapon types, potions, and spells pave the way for different play styles and experiences. Meaningfully change the world around you as your actions unlock new paths and playstyles.

• Armor Up: Collect, craft, or trade for gear. Mix and match armor sets and outfits to suit your playstyle and look.

• Upgrade your Home: Craft and deploy home upgrades to improve its storage and capabilities or to customize its appearance.

• Impact the World: Your choices meaningfully impact the world around you. Sell goods to traders who then use those resources to upgrade their shops, unlocking new items and gear.

• Your Furry Companion: Accessorize your donkey, who follows you throughout the game to help you carry your equipment and survive the wilds

• Take on the main quest or carve your own legend as you go out on your own to pursue other quests in the world.

• Battle monsters in dungeons, caves, and cursed ruins. Uncover secrets hidden in ancient places, blocked paths, and ancient artifacts.

• Help villages fight off threats, solve local problems, or forge alliances that ripple across the world.
