One of the biggest challenges of video game creation is the inevitable comparisons to other titles. If you say any major gaming genre, you will hear people spouting out their favorites in said genre, and that is immediate competition for what you’re facing. The survival crafting genre, for example, has had numerous games made over the last several years, especially in the indie space, so for Cyancook Games, they really had to try and make things special with their upcoming title, Of Peaks and Tides. To that end, they dropped some new information about the game that you can check out below:

“Of Peaks and Tides takes players into Everland, a vast world inspired by Eastern mythology. Once connected to the gods, the land was shattered after a conflict between Heaven and Earth severed their connection, leaving humanity abandoned and civilisation in ruins.

Players awaken as the Nolands, beginning with nothing and setting out to survive, explore and uncover the secrets of a forgotten world. Gathering resources, building and fighting are just the beginning, as players gradually uncover the remnants of lost civilisations and ultimately confront the gods who abandoned humanity.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5’s highly reactive physics systems, Of Peaks and Tides is designed around emergent gameplay, allowing players to experiment with the environment rather than relying on fixed solutions.

Sandstorms and blizzards can influence combat. Plants can be used to trap giant creatures or manipulate their movements. Tamed beasts can carry mobile bases, while enormous flying creatures can transport players across the world. In a world where everyday objects and unconventional creations can become weapons, the result is a survival experience where imagination and experimentation can be just as important as traditional tools and equipment.”

It’s clear that the team wants to make something truly special, where the world feels alive in all the ways that matter, allowing players to have fun in ways they couldn’t in other survival crafting titles. Can they achieve this goal? Only one way to find out! Wishlist the game on Steam today and see what is revealed next!
