Beyond The Grey

Farm an island at whatever pace suits you.

Arrive on an island with a plot of land and a few tools. Farm it, mine under it, craft what you need, sell the surplus. No clock is running and nothing is waiting to be missed.

The game

An island, and as long as you want on it

Everything below is in the build you can play. What is not in it yet is listed at the end of the patch notes.

  • Farming

    Clear a plot, plant it, water it, come back when it is ready. Crops grow against the day cycle, so the island keeps going whether or not you are watching.

  • An island that is yours

    Every island is generated, and the one you settle is saved exactly as it was. Leave for another map and you come back to the same place, not to a near miss.

  • Crafting

    Recipes unlock as you go, and what you have made is remembered for the run. Better tools make the next trip shorter.

  • Trade

    A shop that buys as well as sells, so a surplus is worth carrying back rather than leaving in a chest.

  • Chests

    Somewhere to put everything you are not carrying, which on a long mining trip is most of it.

  • English and French

    Both languages throughout, switchable while you play, down to the keybind labels and the error messages.

Where you are going

Off the mainland

  • A grey open plan office at night, desks lit only by monitors.
  • A bench beside a market street in the island town, crates and awnings around it.
  • The island seen at night from the water, lanterns lit along the shore.
