Overview

About this game

Dryad is an island-building adventure where management and exploration intertwine. Grow your sanctuary, brave the unknown, and push back the darkness. You are the Wisp. Expand the Drifting Sanctuary, manage your flora, and protect your companion, the Dryad, from the relentless miasma.

The Player's Sanctuary





You are the Wisp.                          The Dryad is your companion
                                                     

It falls to you to manage The Dryad's Sanctuary, a floating landmass that houses your plants.
The world has become enveloped in a thick, purple miasma that seemingly purges all life, twisting survivors into aggressive monsters.

At its heart, Dryad is built around a deliberate, two-phase structure across multiple handcrafted chapters:

  • The Exploration Phase: Gather resources, find ancient relics, solve light environmental puzzles, and prepare your island for travel.


  • The Travel Phase: Navigate environmental challenges, survive ceaseless enemy encounters, and face the pinnacle of the chapter: a multi-phased boss.
