Wild Crown: The Broken Pact — Public Beta

Play the free browser beta

Open Wild Crown in your desktop browser

The game opens on its own website. There is no download or installation required.

Enter Erya, a forest strained by fear, scarcity and Black Sap. Confront corrupted creatures without killing them, listen to their communities, and decide how to rebuild what has been broken.

Choose a Warden, explore story chapters and discover companions through your journey. Attacks create openings; cleansing corruption, helping communities and making story choices are separate parts of restoring the forest.

Before you play

• This is an in-development beta, not the finished game. It includes generated candidate assets that are not release-verified. Visuals, balance and content may change.
• Use a desktop browser with WebGL2 and a keyboard/mouse. Mobile and touch play are not supported. Device performance varies; no fixed frame rate or playtime is promised.
• Initial and later-region loads can be large. Keep the tab open while the loading screen is working.
• Progress is stored locally in this browser on the game website, not in your itch.io account. Keep using the same game URL, browser and profile. Clearing site data or changing devices can lose local progress; use the game's save export before moving or clearing data.

Default controls

Arrow keys move; Shift runs; Space jumps; F dodges. 1 is light attack, 2 heavy (hold/release to charge), 3 ranged (hold/release to charge), and 4 ultimate. E talks or interacts when a prompt appears. Q is contextual Tether or Cleanse; follow the live skill card and next-action panel. Hold T to lock onto a creature. Escape pauses. These are fresh-profile defaults; bindings can be changed in Settings.

A creature staying alive at 1 HP is not a killing objective. Open the required weakness, then follow the Tether/Cleanse instructions. Tether costs 20 mana and Cleanse costs 30. Grounded walking/running restores mana; standing still does not.
