Wake up in your house in town, answer a knock at the door and unbox Verity, a smiling yellow AI ball you can talk to. Be careful what you say: on the third night Verity transforms into a hyper-realistic Verity Monster with sallow human skin, empty eye sockets and rows of human teeth that hunts you down.

The story

• Wake up upstairs in your own two-storey house, walk down the stairs, through the kitchen and open the front door.
• Pick up the mysterious box on the doorstep, set it on the kitchen table and open it to meet Verity.
• Chat with Verity by typing or with quick replies. Kind words calm it; mean words make it angry, and a furious Verity transforms early.
• On the third night Verity smashes through your ceiling as the Verity Monster and hunts you every night until you destroy it.

Fight back

• You start with a P90. Buy a pump shotgun, assault rifle, sniper rifle, rocket launcher, ammo, medkits and a Kevlar vest from Rex the Gunsmith outside your door.
• Earn coins from a daily stipend, surviving monster nights and selling wood, coal and iron.
• Sleep in your bed to skip to nightfall or morning.

Explore a living realm

• Endless streamed voxel terrain with forests, snowy mountains, grasslands, badlands and rivers, plus four kinds of settlements with villagers to trade with.
• Survival with health, hunger, stamina, fall damage and drowning; crafting, tool wear and structural gravity.
