The game sessions are structured in three-day cycles, each with its own day and night cycle. During the day, players will explore the map searching for weapons, armor, and other essential items. However, as time progresses, a ring of toxic energy will close in on them, forcing them to stay within a safe zone.

When night falls, players must face a powerful bossDefeating him will allow you to improve your character and advance to the next day, until you complete the three cycles and emerge victorious.

Heroes with distinctive abilities
