About

Smalland: Survive the Wilds flips survival mechanics on their head by shrinking players to a scale where every raindrop floods and every tree looms like a redwood. Craft tools, forge armor, and build bases in a world where puddles become lakes and insects turn into predators. Team up with friends for co-op PvE runs or tackle solo as you navigate shifting seasons and volatile weather that reshapes the environment. The game emphasizes preparation, balancing resource gathering, creature taming, and risk management to outlast threats both natural and mechanical. What sets it apart is the relentless tension of being small. Birds and spiders hunt you as prey, while storms and temperature swings directly damage health. Customizable gear lets you adapt to threats with specific resistances, and the world’s ancient ruins hint at a mystery beyond mere survival. Launched in early 2024, it’s already drawing praise for its dynamic ecosystems and tight multiplayer loops. With cross-platform play on PC and consoles, it’s a survivalist’s puzzle wrapped in a fantasy setting where every decision feels high-stakes.

Storyline

"There was a time when we lived freely under the Sun and Moon, before the time of the giants. This history has passed down from generation to generation so we can see them again, even if only in dreams. But now we are ready to return to the surface and you, vanguard, will lead the way..." Traverse lake sized puddles, scale skyscraper sized trees, battle or tame creatures, discover the dense dark forests and the strange metallic monoliths left over from before. Discover hidden resources and craft armor, weapons, and shelters and more. Collect customizable outfits and armor that not only provide you with resistances and abilities, but also allow you to personalize as you team up with friends in a co-op PVE environment. Most of the creatures you encounter will see you as lower on the food chain - Birds, Rats, Lizards, and Spiders will all see you as a tasty food source! Weather conditions and seasons are in constant flux - this not only affects your health but also dynamically changes the flora and fauna of the world. If you want to survive for another day preparation is key!
