Aure

Exploration in the open world
Aure is a vast fantasy world full of dangers as well as opportunities. You as an adventurer can freely roam in the wilderness, visit towns, trade with travellers or explore interesting locations.

There's a main quest that can give you a general direction where to go next but nothing stops you to play your own way and go where you please.

Map
You start your journey with a hand-drawn map that has clues of interesting locations. However, many of the world's secrets are not visible in the map and to find them you have to go and explore them yourself.

Skills
You can learn new skills during your journey. The skill tree is divided into five main branches:
Peasant for those who are not afraid of the hard, honest work.

Artisan which contains most of the crafting skills.

Scholar for those who want to know the magic.

Nomad with skills that help you survive in the wilderness.

Warrior if you prefer to solve problems with a brute force.

You are free to pick any branch or a combination of them, whichever fits best to your playing style.
