New World, Missing Memories

Breath Of The Dying is a single-player fantasy action RPG where you wake beside a small fire with barely any memory and a flying companion. The Lantern Guild calls people like you the Drifted, and seven connected world layers wait beyond the town gates. Made by a solo developer with AI assistance, this free browser game is in early alpha, so rough edges are part of the package.

Get Your Hero Out the Gate

1

Set Up Before Setting Off

Give the first load a moment, then pick your controls and create your hero. Fullscreen on a desktop with a keyboard and mouse is the recommended setup.

2

Move, Fight, Guard

By default, WASD moves, left click attacks, and right click guards. Middle click rolls, while Space jumps.

3

Interact and Check Your Gear

Press E to interact, G for your character, and I for your inventory. Gathering and crafting let you build gear for your next trip.

4

Keep Your Bearings

Open your journal with J and your world map with M. There are bonfires to find, settlements to visit, and guild quests to take on.

5

Get a Bird's-Eye View

Choose a Falcon, Pixie Dragon, or Storm Wisp companion. Press V to switch to their view and scout the road from above.

6

Make the Controls Yours

Esc opens the menu. You can remap every control from the title screen or pause menu.

What's Waiting Beyond Town

1

Seven Connected World Layers

Explore seven connected layers with settlements to visit and bonfires to find. Town isn't the end of the road.

2

Weapons and Crafted Gear

Several weapon types are available, alongside gathering and crafting to build your gear.

3

A Flying Scouting Buddy

Pick a Falcon, Pixie Dragon, or Storm Wisp, then switch to your companion's view to scout from above.

4

Quests, Loot, and Fishing

Take on guild quests, collect loot, or go fishing. Stocking supplies is also part of getting ready for longer trips.

5

Room for Three Heroes

Keep up to three heroes, with local backups and save export/import available.

Small Habits Worth Keeping

1

Back Up Before Updating

Updates can sometimes break old saves, and clearing browser data can remove your progress.

💡Use Manage saves > Export hero before trying a new version.

2

Check the Road From Above

Companion view lets you scout the road from the air with any of the three companion choices.

💡Press V to switch to your companion's view.

3

Remap Awkward Buttons

Every control can be remapped, so you're not stuck with the default layout.

💡Open the title screen or pause menu to change your bindings.

Reasons to Head Out

🦅

Scout From Above

Your flying companion isn't just along for the ride: you can switch to their view and check the road ahead.

🔨

Prep Is Part of the Adventure

Gathering, crafting, and stocking supplies give you things to handle between fights and longer trips.

Seven Lands to Poke Around

Connected world layers, settlements, bonfires, and guild quests give your wandering some concrete destinations.
