Kindlemere

Mission briefing

Two founders lit the First Hearth. Nine hundred years of kingdoms rose and fell around it — and every world you start remembers all of it. Walk out of your home village into a living land of towns, ruins, tombs and bandit camps, each with a history you can uncover. Chop, mine, fish, forage and farm. Smelt ore, forge weapons and armour, cook, brew potions, learn spells, ride mounts, sail to islands and sea caves, and build your own home. Train 19 skills to 99 and pick perks that change how you play. Take on work from the people you meet, recover lost artifacts from deep dungeons, and watch the chronicle write your own deeds into the history of the world. - A new world with its own history every time - 19 skills with perk trees: gathering, crafting, alchemy, combat, magic, trading - Towns full of people with their own jobs, rumours and quests - Dungeons under ruins, tombs, mines and lairs, and endgame bosses - Play on desktop or phone; your progress is saved automatically

Field manual

Desktop: - Mouse only, keyboard only, or a combination of both - Left-click to interact, right-click for details - Controls are shown in-game - Shift+Z rest · Esc / P menu Phone: tap to walk and act · long-press for options and info · pinch to zoom · toolbar for pack, skills, crafting. On-screen controls can be turned on in Settings.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a flexible screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It adapts to both upright and wide screens, so phones, tablets and desktops all frame it sensibly. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Kindlemere — questions from the ranks

What does it cost to play Kindlemere?

Nothing at all. The mission is free from the first order to the last — no sign-up, no download, no paid tier guarding the good levels. The advertising around this page is what keeps the board free.

What sort of mission is Kindlemere?

Kindlemere is filed in our Adventure theatre. Like every operation on this board, it is a browser game — read the briefing above for the publisher's own account of what you are deploying into.

Can I run Kindlemere on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It adapts to both upright and wide screens, so phones, tablets and desktops all frame it sensibly.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

No installation of any kind. Kindlemere is an HTML5 game: press the launch button and it loads on this page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind.
