Player guide
A player guide to Small Mill's Lovecraftian idle RPG — auto-battles, loot farming, team strategy, town building, gear crafting, Runewords, realms and seasons.
How it plays
You play as a servant of the Old God, building a town on the sealed grounds of Blackreef Isle. Recruit exiled criminals, awaken them with the Old God's blood and turn them into Godsworn — then send them to wage war, farm loot and grow stronger while the battles run themselves. Six classes, gear rarities, crafted equipment and socketable Runewords combine into endless builds.
