Convenant.dev, comprised of former developers of The Witcher, Anomaly, Frostpunk, and Two Worlds, has announced its first game. Their second game will be called To The Star, a survival adventure game inspired by the world of "Alice in Wonderland." Their first release, Gord, is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.


Players explore a surreal fantasy realm inspired by the whimsical 'Alice in Wonderland,' a refreshing departure from typical, realistic survival environments. The game's unique crafting system allows for creating bizarre objects from an extensive array of materials, encouraging great creativity and experimentation. This system fuels both progression and, exploration and combat, with food-based modifiers adding a strategic layer to gameplay. For instance, you could bake a shrinking cupcake and toss it at a giant slug enemy to reduce its size and simplify the battle. Crafting often takes place in a private, Maldives-like archipelago tucked away in a magical briefcase that's always at your side.

The game has no release date, and they're revealing it so early in development that integrating player feedback and ideas into the project from the get-go is important. The sooner we start this process, the more flexibility we have to implement changes. This proactive approach enables our community to actively participate in shaping the game's journey, making it a truly collaborative adventure right from the outset.


To the Star, it does look like it will have early access, but they haven't finalized all the plans yet.
